Three parallel plate capacitors, each having a capacitance of 1.0 µF are connected in parallel. The potential difference across the combination is 100 V. What is the charge on any one of the capacitors?
A)30 $\mu$C
B)100 $\mu$C
C)300 $\mu$C
D)1000 $\mu$C
E)3000 $\mu$C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The charge on a capacitor is given by $ Q = C \times V $. For one capacitor, $ Q = 1.0 \, \mu F \times 100 \, V = 100 \, \mu C $.
