You are working at an electronics fabrication shop. Your current project is on the team producing capacitors for the timer circuit that delays the closing of an elevator door. According to its design specification, the timer circuit is to have a capacitance of 32.0 F between two points A and B. As sour capacitors come off the assembly line, you find that they have a variation of 5.00% from this value. After a team meeting to evaluate this situation, the team decides that capacitances in the range 32.0 0.5 F are acceptable and do not need modification. For capacitances outside this range, the director does not wish to discard the capacitors, but rather to add extra capacitors in series or parallel with the main capacitor to bring the total equivalent capacitance to the exact design value of 32.0 F. You are put in charge of procuring the extra capacitors. What range of capacitances for these extra capacitors do you need to cover the entire range of variation of 5.00%? All capacitances can be measured to three significant figures.

The Van de Graaff generator, diagrammed in Figure P26.24, is an electrostatic device that can raise the metal dome to a high voltage. The dome of such a generator is seen on the left in Figure 22.1a. In the device, charge is delivered continuously to the high-potential dome by means of a moving belt of insulating material. The belt is charged at point by means of a discharge between comb-like metallic needles and a grounded grid. The needles are maintained at a positive electric potential of typically 104 V. The positive charge on the moving belt is transferred to the dome by a second comb of needles at point . Because the electric field inside the dome is negligible, the positive charge on the belt is easily transferred to the dome from its interior regardless of its potential. Suppose the generator is operating so that the potential difference between the high potential dome and the charging needles at is 15.0 kV. Calculate the power required to drive the belt against electrical forces at an instant when the effective current delivered to the dome is 500 A. Figure P26.24
