Class 12 Physics Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance: NCERT Solutions for Question 6

This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question NCERT Class 12th Physics - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance | three capacitors each of capacitance 9 pf are conn Answer from NCERT Class 12th Physics, Chapter Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance.
Question 6

Three capacitors each of capacitance 9 pF are connected in series.

(a) What is the total capacitance of the combination?

(b) What is the potential difference across each capacitor if the combination is connected to a 120 V supply?

Answer

(a) Capacitance of each of the three capacitors, C = 9 pF

Equivalent capacitance (C') of the combination of the capacitors is given by the relation,

Therefore, total capacitance of the combination is 3µF

(b) Supply voltage, V = 100 V

Potential difference (V') across each capacitor is equal to one-third of the supply voltage.

Therefore, the potential difference across each capacitor is 40 V.
