Q: Does each capacitor carry equal charge in series combination? Explain.
Ans: Yes, in series combination each capacitor carries equal charges. The extreme and end plates are charged by battery and middle plates are being charged by electrostatic induction by equal amount.
Ans: Yes, in series combination each capacitor carries equal charges. The extreme and end plates are charged by battery and middle plates are being charged by electrostatic induction by equal amount.
In this combination, the capacitors are connected side by
side i.e., the right plate of one capacitor is connected to the left plate of
the next capacitor.
Each capacitor has the same charge across it. If the
battery supplies +Q charge to the left plate of the capacitor C1 due to
induction – Q charge is induced on its right plate and +Q charge on the left
plate of the capacitor C2 i.e.,
Q1 = Q2= Q3 = Q
