Given information
There are two capacitors with capacitance C_1= 0.5uF and C_2=1.4uF. The capacitors are in parallel along with a battery of 9V. It is required to the charge stored in each capacitor.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The relationship between the voltage(V) across a capacitor of capacitance C and charge q is
.
In this problem, 
and 
are in parallel. Therefore, the equivalent capacitance,
Therefore, total charge of the circuit is,
