Three identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential source (battery). If a charge of Q flows into this combination of capacitors, how much charge does each capacitor carry?
A) 3Q
B) Q/3
C) Q
D) Q/9

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a series circuit, the charge on each capacitor is the same as the charge that flows into the circuit. Therefore, each capacitor carries a charge of Q.
