Transcribed Image Text:### Educational Resource: Capacitor Charge Calculation
#### Circuit Diagram Description
This diagram displays a circuit consisting of three capacitors and a power source. The power source provides a voltage of 20V. The capacitors are arranged as follows:
- **Capacitor 1**: 10 µF (microfarads)
- **Capacitor 2**: 15 µF
- **Capacitor 3**: 4 µF
The 10 µF and 15 µF capacitors are connected in parallel, while the 4 µF capacitor is connected in series with this parallel combination.
#### Problem Statement
Calculate the charge stored by the 15 µF capacitor in the given circuit.
#### Multiple Choice Options
- 580 µC (microcoulombs)
- 120 µC
This exercise will help you understand the charge distribution in series and parallel circuits. Please perform the necessary calculations to determine the correct charge for the 15 µF capacitor.

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
What is the charge for the 15 µF capacitor in the circuit shown?
**Options:**
- 580 µC
- 120 µC
- 60 µC
- 200 µC
- 290 µC
- 80 µC
- 240 µC
(Note: The circuit diagram referenced is not visible in the image provided. To solve this problem, one would typically use the relationship \( Q = C \times V \), where \( Q \) is the charge, \( C \) is the capacitance, and \( V \) is the voltage across the capacitor.)
