Does anybody know the formula can I use to calculate the potential difference across each of the capacitor?
We can't post links, but I suggest googling "formula to calculate the potential difference across each of the capacitor" and watch some videos on the topic
You need to know the capacitance and the charge.
For each C = Q/V so V = Q / C
Yes, the formula you can use to calculate the potential difference (voltage) across each capacitor in a series circuit is as follows:
1. Start by determining the total voltage across the circuit (V_total). This can be provided in the problem statement or obtained by summing up the voltages from a power supply or previous calculations.
2. Next, calculate the total capacitance (C_total) of the capacitors connected in series. This can be done by adding the reciprocal of the individual capacitances (C_i) using the formula: 1/C_total = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + ... + 1/Cn
3. Once you have the total capacitance, you can calculate the potential difference across each capacitor using the formula: V_i = (C_total / C_i) * V_total
In this formula, V_i represents the potential difference (voltage) across the specific capacitor (C_i) you are calculating, C_total is the total capacitance of the series capacitors, and V_total is the total voltage across the circuit.
By applying these steps and using the formula, you can compute the potential difference across each capacitor in a series circuit.
