A 9.0 μF and 4.0 μF capacitors are connected in parallel...
Hi, I understand how to do most of this question, I completed "A", but I am confused with question "B". I think that the series capacitor would have full voltage going across it and that the parallel capacitors would have less voltage. But since resistors work oppositely then capacitors and this is the same way to work out resistor voltage I am wondering if I am working it out wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Question
A 9.0 μF and 4.0 μF capacitors are connected in parallel, and this combination is
connected in series with a 12.0 μF capacitor.
a. What is the net capacitance?
b. If 32 V is applied across the whole network, calculate the voltage
across each capacitor.
I have attached a scan of how I think that it works.
Thanks!
