What is an example of a capacitator practice problem?
1 Answer
See below.
Explanation:
Here is a fairly typical example I grabbed from an old discussion problems packet from a general physics class (collegiate-level, General Physics II)
Two capacitors, one with
a) Find the equivalent capacitances when they are connected in series and in parallel
answer:
#2.0muF# in series and#9.0muF# in parallelb) Find the charge and potential difference for each capacitor when they are connected in series
answer:
#Q_1=36muC# ,#Q_2=36muC# ,#V_1=6V# , and#V_2=12V# c) Find the charge and potential difference for each capacitor when they are connected in parallel
answer:
#Q_1=108muC# ,#Q_2=54muC# ,#V_1=18V# , and#V_2=18V# *
Capacitor problems can easily become more complicated.
