Answer:
a)3pF has the greatest charge
b) 3pF to have the greatest voltage.
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
1pF is parallel to
And 3pF is in with series 1pF is parallel to
Generally the equation for Resultant capacitor is mathematically given by
Ohm’s law
Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points
a)
Since
The same charge flowing through
flow through 3pF
Therefore
3pF has the greatest charge
b)
Voltage drop in series according to ohms law
Therefore the parallel share same voltage
Given
3pF to have the greatest voltage.
