Problem 4: The battery has a potential difference of 10 V and each capacitor has a capacitance of C = 4 µF. (c) Determine the equivalent capacitance of the 3 capacitors. (i.e. if you replace the three capacitors shown with a single equivalent capacitor, what value should you select?) Cequ = 2.67 µF. (d) What is the charge on the capacitor C1 (i.e. the charge on the positive plate)? Q1 =13.3 µC.
