Three identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential source (battery). if a charge of q flows into this combination of capacitors, how much charge does each capacitor carry? explain.
a) 3q
b) q
c) q/3
d) q/9

C.Q/3

Explanation:

The total capacitances in series

1/C=1/C1+1/C2+1/C3

=1 /C+1/C+1/C

3/C

Ctotal=C/3

Charge in each capacitances

1/3*Q
