Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,C1 = 5 μFC2 = 3 μFC3 =2 μFV = 10 v(a) The equivalent capacitance of the circuit,C12 =C1+C2 =(5+3)μF = 8 μF1Ceq =1C12+1C3Ceq=C12×C3C12+C3=8 μF×2μF(10)μF = 1.6 μF The equivalent capacitance of the circuit is 1.6 μF(b) The net charge (C1 and C2) on the capacitors in the circuit,For series combination the charge is sameQ12 = C12V=1.6 μF×10 VQ = 16 μC(c)  The charge on C3,Q3 = 16 μC(For series combination the charge is same)
