Potential difference between three capacitors in series
ok so I've spent all day on it and I think I've finally got it. 1/10 +1/10 + 1/10 = 0.3 1/0.3 = 3.3 recurring Qt = 3.3 recurring * 12 = 40 40/10 = 4 (4V drop across each capacitor) 40/10 + 40/10 +40/10 = 12V (Applying Kirchoff's law to check) can you confirm that this is the way you...- Ware182

Potential difference between three capacitors in series
so I can work out the charge for C1 by 10x10-6 x 12 = 120uC however I don't know how to apply that in a way to find the potential difference. I understand that between each capacitor on this circuit it will drop 4V and 40 micro coulombs However I don't understand how to use this information...- Ware182

Potential difference between three capacitors in series
VT/CT =3.6uF VT being voltage total of 12V, CT being Capacitance total of 3.3uF recurring from the formula provided it states that I now times that answer by C (i'm guessing means capacitance) this does not give me the expected figures. I'm thinking that the formula provided is incorrect...- Ware182

Potential difference between three capacitors in series
Hi, I'm having a problem with this circuit finding potential difference between capacitors. I know the answers by playing around on simulation software A=12v B=8v and C=4v however, I am struggling to use the formula provided Vc= (Vt/Ct)*C to find the answers. It works fine in a parallel circuit...- Ware182
