Problem

Capacitors of

4\,\mu\text{F}

and

6\,\mu\text{F}

are connected in parallel. This parallel combination is connected in series with a

3\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor across a

12\,\text{V}

battery. The charge on the

3\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor is closest to (a)

36\,\mu\text{C}

(b)

27.7\,\mu\text{C}

(c)

8.3\,\mu\text{C}

(d)

16.4\,\mu\text{C}
