Step 1
Substitute the given value of \(C = 15.0 nF\) into the formula: \(C_{\text{total}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{15.0 \times 10^{-9}} + \frac{1}{3 \times 15.0 \times 10^{-9}} + \frac{1}{2 \times 15.0 \times 10^{-9}}}\). Calculate the total capacitance. Show more…

Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b for the group of capacitors connected as shown in the figure. Take C1 = 3.00μF, C2 = 14.0μF, and C3 = 1.00μF. What charge is stored on C3 if the potential difference between points a and b is 60.0 V?

(a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points $a$ and $b$ for the group of capacitors connected as shown in Figure P16.46 if $C_{1}=5.00 \mu \mathrm{F}, \quad C_{2}=10.00 \mu \mathrm{F}$ and $C_{3}=2.00 \mu \mathrm{F}$ . (b) If the potential between points $a$ and $b$ is $60.0 \mathrm{V},$ what charge is stored on $C_{3} ?$
