A supply of 400V is connected across capacitors of 3μf and 6μf in series. Calculate the charge

A.

8 x 10\(^{-4}\)C

B.

4 x 10\(^{-2}\)C

C.

8 x 10\(^{-3}\)C

D.

4 x 10\(^{-8}\)C

Correct answer is A

C\(_T\) = C\(_1\) × C\(_2\)
C\(_1\) + C\(_2\)

 

= 3 × 6
3 + 6


= \(\frac{18}{9}\) = 2μf
Q = CV
⇒ 2 × 10\(^{-6}\) × 400
⇒ 800 × 10\(^{-6}\)C = 8 × 10\(^{-4}\)C
