A 7.0 µF capacitor and a 5.0 µF capacitor are connected in series across a 5.0 kV potential difference. The charged capacitors are then disconnected from the source and connected to each other with terminals of like sign together. Find the charge on each capacitor (in mC) and the voltage across each capacitor (in V). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

Explanation:

Given two capacitors 7.0 µF and 5.0 µF connected in series, let s calculate the effective capacitance.

Given

V = 5.0kV = 5000Volts

To get the total charge in the circuit, we will use the formula:

Since the same charge flows in a series connected capacitors, the charge on them in mC is 14.583mC

For the voltage across 7.0 µF:

Voltage across the 7.0 µF is 2,083.28V

The voltage across the  5.0 µF:

V = 5000 - 2,083.28

V = 2,916.72Volts

Voltage across the  5.0 µF is 2,916.72V
