    Three capacitors 3\[\mu \]F, 10 \[\mu \]F, and 15 \[\mu \]f are connected in series to a voltage source of 100 V. The charge on 15\[\mu \]F is:

    A)  22\[\mu \]C                                      

    B)  100\[\mu \]C

    C)  2800\[\mu \]C                                 

    D)  200\[\mu \]C

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     As the capacitors are connected in series.  Hence, their equivalent capacitance is given by \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{eq}}}=\frac{1}{{{C}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{C}_{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{C}_{3}}}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}\] \[=\frac{10+3+2}{30}\] \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{eq}}}=\frac{15}{30}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow {{C}_{eq}}=2\mu F\] As the charge on each capacitor will be same \[={{C}_{eq}}V=2\times 100=20\mu C\]
