Question

Part A Given 4 capacitors of the same capacitance C,

(a) list all values of capacitance you could obtain by connecting up to 4 capacitors.

(b) Construct a table with two columns: the first column contains all possible values of capacitance in increasing order, and the second column contains all nonequivalent configurations corresponding to each value.

Part B Given a box of 10 capacitors, each of capacitance 470?F, find configurations of at least 5 capacitors with equivalent capacitance as close as possible to

(a) 250?F and

(b) 2mF.

Show your calculations of equivalent capacitance. *show all the work and please give easy-to-understand explanation for the calculation.

Explanation / Answer

(a) 4C, C/4, C, 4C/3, 3C/4

(b) 4C All in parallel

C/4 All in series

C Two pairs (of two capacitors in parallel) connected in series

4C/3 3 capacitors connected in series, the combination connected with the 4th capacitor in parallel

3C/4 3 capacitors connected in parallel, the combination connected with the 4th capacitor in series

Part B

(a) Taking 8 capacitors, connect two pairs of 4 capacitors in series, and connect the two pairs together in parallel. Resultant C= 235 uF

(b) Connect 5 capacitors in parallel Equivalent C = 2.35 mF
