Transcribed Image Text:### Capacitor Charge Calculation
In the figure, the battery has a potential difference of \( V = 10.0 \, \text{V} \) and the five capacitors each have a capacitance of \( 9.00 \, \mu\text{F} \). What is the charge on (a) capacitor 1 and (b) capacitor 2?
#### Diagram Explanation
The diagram depicts a circuit with a battery of potential difference \( V \), connected to five capacitors. Two of these capacitors are labeled \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \).
- \( C_1 \) is connected directly to the battery.
- \( C_2 \) is part of a series-parallel combination of the other four capacitors.
This configuration requires using series and parallel capacitance formulas to determine the individual charges on \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \).
#### Calculations
*Calculation details follow below.*
(a) **Charge on Capacitor 1**:
- The charge on \( C_1 \) has been calculated as: \( 0.967 \, \mu\text{C} \)
(b) **Charge on Capacitor 2**:
- The input box for \( C_2 \) is currently empty, awaiting calculation or input.
Use the following unit for your answers: **\( \mu\text{C} \)** (microcoulombs).
Please apply the properties and formulas of capacitors in series and parallel circuits to solve these steps.
