The figure shows capacitors C1, C2, and C3 connected to a battery with potential difference V . When switch S is closed so as to connect uncharged capacitor 4 (C4), (a) how much charge passes through point P from the battery and (b) how much charge shows up on capacitor 4? State your answers in terms of the given variables.
q=vc
capacitors in series behave like resistance in parallel
parallel capacitors behave like resistance in series
(a) find the total capacitance first
when switch is closed include c4
c2 and c4 are parallel so add them
c2+c4
now all are in series so add the reciprocals of the capacitances and inverse the result
1/C = 1/C1 + 1/C3 + 1/(C2+C4) here;s what i mean
C = c1c3(c2+c4)/(c1c2 + c1c3 + c1c4 + c2c3 + c3c4)
Thus:
q= cv
= V *c1c3(c2+c4)/(c1c2 + c1c3 + c1c4 + c2c3 + c3c4)
(b) well voltage is equal in every parallel branches so yeah
q= V*C4
