Learning Goal:

To calculate capacitance, voltage, and charge for a Mixed combination of capacitors.

For a charged capacitor, the general relationship between its charge $Q,$ its capacitance $C,$ and its potential difference $V$ is: $Q=CV$

In this problem, you learn how to analyze a circuit that has three capacitors with Mixed connecttions, as shown in $($Figure $1)$

The three capacitors are $C_1=1\mathrm{.}1F,C_2=3\mathrm{.}3F,C_3=6\mathrm{.}6F.$ The battery voltage is $V=6\mathrm{.}1V$

Part $E-$ What is the Charge $Q_1$ on capacitor $C_1=1\mathrm{.}1F?$ Keep the unit $C.$

Part F $-$ What is the Voltage $V_1$ on capacitor $C_1=1\mathrm{.}1F?$

Part G $-$ What is the charge $Q_3$ on capacitor $C_3=6\mathrm{.}6F?$ Keep the unit $C.$

Part H $-$ What is the Voltage $V_3$ on capacitor $C_3=6\mathrm{.}6F?$

Self check:

$(1)$ Calculate $V1+V3.$ Compare $V1+V3$ to the voltage of the battery. Do they agree?

$(2)$ Calculate Q$1+$ Q$2.$ Compare Q$1+$ Q$2$ to Part B the total charge on the equivalent capacitor of $t$ Calculate Q$3+$ Q$2.$ Compare Q$3+$ Q$2$ to Part B the total charge on the equivalent capacitor of th
