Two series capacitors (one 2 µF, the other of unknown value) are charged from a 24 V source. The 2 µF capacitor is charged to 16 V and the other to 8 V. The value of the unknown capacitor is
6. An uncharged capacitor and a 1 kΩ resistor are connected in series with a switch and a 6 V battery. At the instant the switch is closed, the voltage across the capacitor is
Q=c'×v' =2×16 =32 ¶f Q=C2×v2 C2=32/8 C2=4 ¶f Therefore charge is unknown capacitor is 4 micro farad
