Question

Part A Your electronics company has several identical capacitors with capacitance C1 and several others with capacitance C2 You must determine the values of C1 and C2 but donO't have access to C1 and C2 individually. Instead, you have a network with C1 and C2 connected in series and a network with C1 and C2 connected in parallel You have a 270.0.V battery and instrumentation that measures the total energy supplied by the battery when it is connected to the network. When the parallel combination is connected to the battery, 0.190 J of energy is stored in the network. When the series combination is connected, 0.0450 J of energy is stored. You are told that C1 is greater than Co Calculate C1 Express your answer with the appropriate units Value Units Submit RequestAnswer ? Part B Calculate C2 Express your answer with the appropriate units. G-1 Value Units Submit Request Answer Part C For the series combination, does C1 or C store more charge, or are the values equal?

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

for the value of C1 and C2

for C1 and C2 in parallel

0.50 * (C1 + C2) * 270^2 = 0.190 -----(1)

for C1 and C2 in series

Ceq = C1 * C2/(C1 + C2)

for the energy in series

0.50 * C1 * C2/(C1 + C2) * 270^2 = 0.0450 -----(2)

solving for C1 and C2

C1 = 2 *10^-6 F

C2 = = 3.2 *10^-6 F

C1 is 2 *10-6 F

b)

C2 is 3.2 *10-6 F
