Transcribed Image Text:### Circuit Diagram Explanation
This image shows a simple electrical circuit with a 20V battery connected to three capacitors. The capacitors are arranged in a combination of series and parallel configurations.
- **Battery**: The left side of the diagram displays a 20V battery, supplying power to the circuit.
- **Capacitors**:
- A 10 μF capacitor connected in parallel with a series arrangement of a 15 μF and 4 μF capacitor.
### Question
The question posed is:
"What is the potential difference for the 10 μF capacitor in the circuit shown?"
### Options
- 20V
- 40V
- 12V
- 6V
This circuit exercise helps in understanding how voltage is distributed across capacitors in series and parallel arrangements.

Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Potential Difference in Capacitors
#### Question
What is the potential difference for the 10 µF capacitor in the circuit shown?
#### Options
- ☐ 20V
- ☐ 40V
- ☐ 12V
- ☐ 8V
- ☐ 200V
- ☐ 10V
#### Diagram
The image presents a circuit diagram, though the specific components are not visibly clear. The diagram likely contains a 10 µF capacitor whose potential difference is being questioned.
For educational purposes, understanding potential difference in the context of capacitors includes familiarizing oneself with basic circuit principles including Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, and how capacitors function in circuits.
