Homework Statement
Given,
What is the charge on C2 (the highlighted capacitor).
The answer is supposed to be Q2 = 5 uC
Homework Equations
C=Q/V
Loop Rule?
The Attempt at a Solution
What I did, is using the loop rule on the smaller loop, I set up
V2 - V3 - Vof C2 = 0
6 V - 4 V = Vof C2
2 V = Vof C2
So since,
Vof C2 = Q2/C2
Then,
Q2 = (2 V)(5.0 uF)
And Q = 1.0x10-5 C, however that isn't the answer... It's supposed to be 5 uC.
Solution
Wow, I just figured it out, stupid mistake. It should be V2 + V3 - Vof C2 = 0. That fixes it.
