C.an equal and opposite reaction
Answer:
The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.
Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where
Ct is the total effective capacitance
V is the supply voltage
Since the capacitors are connected in series.
1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3
Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF
1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8
1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347
1/Ct = 0.1678
Ct = 1/0.1678
Ct = 5.96μF
Ct = 5.96×10^-6F
Since V = 125V
E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²
E = 0.0466Joules
Answer:
im sure your already past this but it's E.
Explanation:
This is because in this case potential energy is linear to height, which means that the higher the more potential energy.
