The charge on each capacitor in a set of capacitors in parallel is
A)directly proportional to its capacitance.
B)inversely proportional to its capacitance.
C)independent of its capacitance.
D)the same.
E)None of these is correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each capacitor is the same. Since charge (Q) is equal to capacitance (C) times voltage (V) (Q = CV), the charge on each capacitor is directly proportional to its capacitance.
