Grade 11Electrostatics
Three uncharged capacitors of capacitance C1 = 1micro F, C2 = 2 micro F and C3 = 3 micro F are connected as shown in the figure to one another and to points A, B and D. Potential at A = 10V, at B= 25V and at D = 20V. Determine the potential at O
. From Kirchoff’s voltage law, the current passing from B to O will be divided into branches OA and OD. Hence the charge aquired on the branch BO will be equal to that on OD and OA summed together.
