You take a couple of capacitors and connect them in series, to which you observe a total capacitance of 4.8microfarads. However,

when you connect them in parallel their combined capacitance is 35microfarads. Determine the value of each capacitor.

Answer:

C₁ = 34.8 μF

C₂ = 0.2 μF

Explanation:

When the capacitors are connected in series their resultant capacitance is given by the formula:

Cs = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂

where,

Cs = Series equivalent capacitance = 4.8 μF

C₁ = Capacitance of 1st Capacitor

C₂ = Capacitance of 2nd Capacitor

Therefore,

4.8 μF = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂

(4.8 μF)(C₁ C₂) = C₁ + C₂   --------------- equation 1

When the capacitors are connected in parallel their resultant capacitance is given by the formula:

Cp = C₁ + C₂

where,

Cp = Parallel equivalent capacitance = 35 μF

Therefore,

35 μF = C₁ + C₂   -------------- equation 2

solving equation 1 and equation 2 simultaneously, we get:

<u>C₁ = 34.8 μF</u>

<u>C₂ = 0.2 μF</u>

Point charges of 21.0 μC and 47.0 μC are placed 0.500 m apart. (a) At what point (in m) along the line connecting them is the el
rewona [7]

Answer:

a) x = 0.200 m

b)E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Explanation:

q_1 = 21.0\mu C

q_1 = 47.0\mu C

DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTH POINT CHARGE = 0.5 m

by relation for electric field we have following relation

E = \frac{kq}{x}^2

according to question E = 0

FROM FIGURE

x is the distance from left point charge where electric field is zero

\frac{k21}{x}^2 = \frac{k47}{0.5-x}^2

solving for x we get

\frac{0.5}{x} = 1+ \sqrt{\frac{47}{21}}

x = 0.200 m

b)electric field at half way mean x =0.25

E =\frac{k*21*10^{-6}}{0.25^2} -\frac{k*47*10^{-6}}{0.25^2}

E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C
