The discussion focuses on calculating capacitance in closed loop circuits, specifically addressing the formula C=Δq/V. A participant incorrectly calculated the capacitance of capacitor C3 by using the total voltage of 12V instead of the voltage across C3. The correct approach involves applying voltage divider equations to determine the voltage across individual capacitors. The accurate calculation for C3 requires using the difference in charge (Δq) divided by the specific voltage across C3.

No. You need to divide it by the voltage across C3, which is not same as total voltage in the circuit. Use voltage divider equations for capacitive circuits.Jrlinton said:
