Charge on Series CapsMediumQuestion 31529

Question

Two capacitors 5 μF and 10 μF are connected in series to 30 V. Charge on each is:
  1. A
    150 μC
  2. B
    100 μC
    Correct
  3. C
    50 μC
  4. D
    200 μC

Correct answer

100 μC

Explanation

C_eq = 10/3 μF. Q = C_eq × V = (10/3)×30 = 100 μC. Same on both in series.
