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: Option B
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
