A 3uF capacitor is charged to a potential of 300V and a 2uF capacitor is charged to200V.The capacitors are connected in parallel with plates of opposite polarity joined together. What amount of charge will flow when the plates are so connected?

let v be the final pd across the combination,

900-400 = 3v+2v

v=100 volt.

so final charge on 3uF cap = 300 uC, &on 2uF=200uC

so, total charge passed = 900-300 = 600uC


all's well that end's well, but if it dosen't, then it is not the end . . .

see the charge is conserved in this case

let the initial charges be q1 and q2 and final charges be Q1 andQ2

in parallel the potential across both is same

therefore, q1+q2=Q1+Q2

or, c1.v1+c2.v2=c1.v+c2.v    where v is the final potential

from here we get v=(c1.v1+c2.v2)/(c1+c2)

now Q1=c1.v=c1*(c1.v1+c2.v2)/(c1+c2)

and q1=c1.v1

charge flown=|q1-Q1|

substitute the values and get ur answer
