Question
Number 3 only with complete solution
NSTRUCTIONS:
- Show your complete solution to each problem on a short bond paper.
Answers must be expressed in engineering notation (when the exponent of the base 10 multiplier
is not a multiple of 3, press ENG or SHIFT+ENG, whichever the case.)
Example: 0.06N or 6.0x102 N must be expressed to 60x103 N or 60mN
1. A capacitor is composed of 2 plates separated by a sheet of insulating material 2mm thick and of relative
permittivity 3. The distance between the plates is increased to allow the insertion of a second sheet of 3mm
thick and of relative permittivity &r . If the equivalent capacitance is one-half of the original capacitance, find
the value of ɛr.
2. In the given network, each capacitor has C = 4. 00 µF and
Vab = +28.0 V. Calculate the:
a. Total capacitance
b. Charge on each capacitor
c. Potential difference on each capacitor
3. A 20 µF capacitor is charged to 120 V and then disconnected from the power supply. If a second uncharged
capacitor with capacitance of 50 µF is connected across the first capacitor, what would be the resulting
voltage across their parallel combination?
