Question -

Obtain the equivalent capacitance of the network in Fig.2.35. For a 300 V supply, determine the charge and voltage across eachcapacitor.



Answer -

Capacitance of capacitor Cis100 pF.

Capacitance of capacitor Cis200 pF.

Capacitance of capacitor Cis200 pF.

Capacitance of capacitor Cis100 pF.

Supply potential, V = 300V

Capacitors C2 and C3 areconnected in series. Let their equivalent capacitance be 
Capacitors C1 and C’ arein parallel. Let their equivalent capacitance be 
are connected in series. Let theirequivalent capacitance be C.
Hence, the equivalentcapacitance of the circuit is 
Potential differenceacross 

Potential difference across C4 = V4

Charge on 

Q4CV

Hence, potential difference, V1,across C1 is 100 V.

Charge on C1 isgiven by,

C2 and C3 having samecapacitances have a potential difference of 100 V together. Since C2 and C3 arein series, the potential difference across Cand Cisgiven by,

V2 = V3 = 50 V

Therefore, charge on C2 isgiven by,

And charge on C3 ­isgiven by,

Hence, the equivalentcapacitance of the given circuit is
