Since the capacitors 3 microF and 4 microF are in series
will be replaced by a capacitor that has the capacitance
Cs.
1/Cs = 1/4 + 1/3
1/Cs =
(3+4)/4*3
1/Cs = 7/12
Cs =
12/7
Now, the capacitor that has the capacitance Cs = 12/7
and the capacitor of 6 microF are in parallel.
The
capacitors will be replaced by the capacitor that has the capacitance
Cp.
Cp = 12/7 + 6
Cp =
(12+7*6)/7
Cp = (12+42)/7
Cp =
54/7 microF
The net capacitance is Cp = 54/7
microF.
Since the capacitor of 6microF and
the capacitor of 12/7 microF are in parallel, the potential difference of 20 V across 6
microF is the same across 12/7 microF, too.
Now, we'll
determine the charge through 12/7 microF capacitor:
charge
= voltage*capacitance
charge = 20V*(12/7)
microF
charge = 240/7
microC
The charge on the capacitors of 4 and 3 microF will
be the same, since they are in
series.
Potential difference across 3 microF
capacitor is:
240/7*3 = 240/21
= 80/7 = 11.4 V
