Present circuit diagrams of 2 capacitors in series and in parallel (without actually mentioning the words series and parallel). Ask a student to differentiate the electric current across the circuits (assuming the system of capacitors is connected to the same DC-voltage source). Query: Which circuit has the same current throughout? Which circuit has current that changes across the electric path (loop)? Why? 2. From the above circuit diagrams ask a student to differentiate the electric potential between the 2 circuits (assuming the system of capacitors is connected to the same DC-voltage source). Query: Which circuit has the same electric potential throughout? Which circuit has electric potential that changes across the loop(s)? Why?

You find that a 25-F capacitor connected to 480 VAC is defective. The storeroom has no capacitors with a 480-VAC rating. However, you find two capacitors rated at 50 F and 370 VAC. Can these two capacitors be connected in such a manner that they can replace the defective capacitor? If yes, explain how they are connected and why the capacitors will not be damaged by the lower voltage rating. If no, explain why they cannot be used without damaging the capacitor.

You are a journeyman electrician working in an industrial plant. Your task is to connect an inductor to a 480-V, 60-Hz line. To determine the proper conductor and fuse size for this installation, you need to know the amount of current the inductor will draw from the line. The nameplate on the inductor indicates that it has an inductance of 0.1 H. An ohmmeter reveals that it has a wire resistance of 10 . How much current should this inductor draw when connected to the line?
