Capacitor C1 (10 μF) and C2 (20 μF) are connected in series across a 3 kV supply as shown. What is charge on capacitor C1

A

45000 μC

B

20000 μC

C

15000 μC

D

10000 μC

Answer

20000 μC

Explanation

Solution

q1 = Ceq V

= 10×20×10630\frac { 10 \times 20 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } } { 30 }× 3 × 103 = 2 × 10–2

= 20000 × 10–6 = 20000 μC
