Two Capacitors of Capacitance 6

question 41

Short Answer

Two capacitors of capacitance 6.00 μF and 8.00 μF are connected in parallel. The combination is then connected in series with a 12.0-V voltage source and a 14.0-μF capacitor, as shown in the figure.
(a) What is the equivalent capacitance of this combination?
(b) What is the charge on the 6.00-μF capacitor?
(c) What is the potential difference across the 6.00-μF capacitor?
