JAMB 2010 - Question 34
Physics 2010 JAMB Past Questions - Question 34: Three capacity of capacitance ,2μF, 4μF and 8μF are connected in parallel and a p.d of 6V is maintained across each capacity , the total energy stored is
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
C
Explanation
C = C1 + C2 + C3
= 2 + 4 + 8 = 14μF
V = 6V
Energy = 1/2CV2
1/2 x 14 x 10-6 x 62
= 2.52 x 10^-4 J
