Capacitor C1 Is Connected Alone to a Battery and Charged

Question 9

Multiple Choice

Capacitor C1 is connected alone to a battery and charged until the magnitude of the charge on each plate is 4.0 * 10-8 C.Then it is removed from the battery and connected to two other capacitors C2 and C3, as shown.The charge on the positive plate of C1 is then 1.0 *10-8 C.The charges on the positive plates of C2 and C3 are: Capacitor C<sub>1</sub> is connected alone to a battery and charged until the magnitude of the charge on each plate is 4.0 * 10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup>C.Then it is removed from the battery and connected to two other capacitors C<sub>2 </sub>and C<sub>3</sub>, as shown.The charge on the positive plate of C<sub>1</sub> is then 1.0 *10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup>C.The charges on the positive plates of C<sub>2</sub> and C<sub>3 </sub>are:   A) q<sub>2</sub> = 3.0*10 <sup></sup> <sup>-8 </sup>C and q<sub>3</sub> = 3.0 *10 <sup>-</sup>  <sup>8 </sup>C B) q<sub>2</sub> = 2.0 *10 <sup>-</sup> <sup>8 </sup> C and q<sub>3</sub> = 2.0 *10 <sup>-</sup> <sup>8 </sup>C C) q<sub>2</sub> = 5.0 * 10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup> C and q<sub>3</sub> = 1.0 * 10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup>C D) q<sub>2</sub> = 3.0* 10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup>C and q<sub>3</sub> = 1.0 * 10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup>C E) q<sub>2</sub> = 1.0 *10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup> C and q<sub>3</sub> = 3.0 *10<sup>-</sup><sup>8 </sup>C


A) q2 = 3.0*10 -8 C and q3 = 3.0 *10 - 8 C
B) q2 = 2.0 *10 - 8 C and q3 = 2.0 *10 - 8 C
C) q2 = 5.0 * 10-8 C and q3 = 1.0 * 10-8 C
D) q2 = 3.0* 10-8 C and q3 = 1.0 * 10-8 C
E) q2 = 1.0 *10-8 C and q3 = 3.0 *10-8 C
