28 (a) shows two capacitors arranged in
parallel In this case, the same potential difference is
applied across both the capacitors But the plate charges
(±Q1) on capacitor 1 and the plate charges (±Q2) on the
capacitor 2 are not necessarily the same:
Q1 = C1V, Q2 = C2V
(2 61)
The equivalent capacitor is one with charge
Q = Q1 + Q2
