6.29 Derive the equivalent circuit for a parallel connection of ideal capacitors. Assume that the initial voltage across the paralleled capacitors is v(t0). (Hint: Sum the currents into the string of capacitors, recognizing that the parallel connection forces the voltage across each capacitor to be the same.)

Step 1
Let's denote the capacitances of the capacitors as \( C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_n \) and the common voltage across them as \( v(t) \). Show more…

Derive the equivalent circuit for a parallel connection of ideal capacitors. Assume that the initial voltage across the paralleled capacitors is $v\left(t_{0}\right)$. (Hint: Sum the currents into the string of capacitors, recognizing that the parallel connection forces the voltage across each capacitor to be the same.)

Find equivalent capacitance
Joy C.
We start with two initially uncharged capacitors $C_{1}=5 \mu \mathrm{F}$ and $C_{2}=20 \mu \mathrm{F}$ connected in series. Then, a 20 -V source is connected to the series combination, as shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 3.27$ Find the voltages $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ after the source is applied. (Hint:The charges stored on the two capacitors must be equal, because the current is the same for both capacitors.)
