Question

In (Figure 1), let V = 13.0 V and C1=C2=C3= 24.8 μF . 

A) How much energy is stored in the capacitor network as shown in (Figure 1)?

B) How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in series?

C)How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in parallel?

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that  the formula of the equivalent capacitance when the capacitor are in the series 

1Ceq=1C1+1C2+1C3

where C1,C2, and C3 are the capacitance of the capacitor 

When the capacitor is in the parallel, then the equivalent capacitor is:- 

Ceq= C1+C2+C3

We also know that the formula of the stored energy by the capacitor is given as 

E= 12qVWe also know that q = CeqV E = 12CeqV×VE = 12CeqV2

where E is the energy stored by the capacitor, V is the voltage.
