Two 50\(\mu\)F parallel plate capacitors are connected in series. The combined capacitor is then connected across a 100-V battery. The charge on each plate of the capacitor is
- A. 5.00 x 10-5C
- B. 2.50 x 10-3C
- C. 1.25 x 10-3C
- D. 1.00 x 10-2C
Correct Answer: B. 2.50 x 10-3C
Explanation
For series, C = \(\frac{50 \times\ 50}{50 + 50}\)
C= 25\(\mu\)F
Q = CV
Q = 25 x 100 x 10-3
Q = 2.5 x 10-3C
