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 and9.0muF 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 , andV_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 , andV_2=18V *
Capacitor problems can easily become more complicated.
