Answer
The capacitor should be connected in parallel as parallel connection gives the arithmetic sum of capacitance which will give a corresponding sum of energy while capacitors in series gives the sum of the reciprocal if the individual capacitance
Answer:
a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.
b) Average power
P(w)= 1062.07 [w]
P(hp)=1.42 [hp]
c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.
Explanation:
First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)
Work:

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )
![W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%3D%20F%2Ad%3D%20m%2Ag%2Ad%3D85%2A%209.8%2A12.75%3D10620.75%20%5BJ%5D)
Converting from Joules to Kcals:

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)
2.537 ---> 20%
x ---> 100%

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.
Now,
1 g --> 9 Kcals
1000 g --> 9000KCals
Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.
********************
For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)
![Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Power%3D%5Cfrac%7BJoules%7D%7BSeconds%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B53103.75%7D%7B50%7D%20%3D1062.075%20%5BW%5D%5C%5C)
![P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28hp%29%3D%5Cfrac%7BP%28w%29%7D%7B745.7%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1062.075%7D%7B745.7%7D%20%3D1.42%5Bhp%5D)

Answer:
Explanation:
1) TRUE; potential difference can be calculated using path integral. Since the electric field is a conservative, the potential difference can be calculated using any path.
2) TRUE; since potential due to a charge is inversely dependent on distance, at infinity the potential will be almost zero.
3) TRUE, W = q.VBA.
4) FALSE; eV is a unit for work (or) energy.
5) TRUE; since the electric force is conservative force. There will be no loss in energy, the decreased potential energy will be coverted to kinetic energy.
6) FALSE; in the direction of electric field the potential decreases.
7) FALSE; equipotential surface is perpendicular to the electric field lines.
8) FALSE; electrostatic potential is scalar quantity. It depends only on the charge and distance from it.
9) FALSE; Inside a conductor the electric field is zero but the electric potential is constant at the value that is at the surface of the conductor.
10) TRUE; as long as the field is being measured outiside the body the bodies act as point charges. So electric fields due to all types of bodies charged identically will be equal.
