Capacitor C₁ Is Connected Alone to a Battery and Charged

question 16

Multiple Choice

Capacitor C₁ is connected alone to a battery and charged until the magnitude of the charge on each plate is 4.0 * 10 ^{- 8} C. Then it is removed from the vattery and connected to two other capacitors C₂ and C₃, as shown. The charge ont he positive placte of C₁ is then 1.0 *10 ^{- 8} C. The charges on the positive plates of C₂ and C₃ are:

• A) q₂ = 3.0 * 10^--8 C and q₃ = 3.0 * 10^-8 C
• B) q₂ = 2.0 *10^-8 Cand q₃ = 2.0 * 10^-8 C
• C) q₂ = 5.0 * 10^-8 Cand q₃ = 1.0 *10^-8 C
• D) q₂ = 3.0 * 10^-8 C and q₃ = 1.0 * 10^-8 C
• E) q₂ = 1.0 * 10^-8 Cand q₃ = 3.0 * 10^-8 C
