(i) A battery is attached to several different capacitors connected in parallel. Which of the following statements is true? (a) All capacitors have the same charge, and the equivalent capacitance is greater than the capacitance of any of the capacitors in the group, (b) The capacitor with the largest capacitance carries the smallest charge, (c) The potential difference across each capacitor is the same, and the equivalent capacitance is greater than any of the capacitors in the group. (d) The capacitor with the smallest capacitance carries the largest charge. (e) The potential differences across the capacitors are the same only if the capacitances are the same, (ii) The capacitors are reconnected in series, and the combination is again connected to the battery. From the same choices, choose the one that is true.
Give the reason why a dielectric material increases capacitance compared with what it would be with air between the plates of a capacitor. What is the independent reason that a dielectric material also allows a greater voltage to be applied to a capacitor? (The dielectric thus increases C and permits a greater V.)
An air-filled (empty) parallel-plate capacitor is made from two square plates that are 25 cm on each side and 1.0 mm apart. The capacitor is connected to a 50-V battery and fully charged. It is then disconnected from the battery and its plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2.00 mm. (a) What is the capacitance of this new capacitor? (b) What is the charge on each plate? (c) What is the electrical field between the plates?
A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. What happens to the stored energy if the plate separation is doubled while the capacitor remains connected to the battery? (a) It remains the same, (b) It is doubled. (c) It decreases by a factor of 2. (d) It decreases by a factor of 4. (e) It increases by a factor of 4.
An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with capacitance C0 stores charge Q on plates separated by distance d. The potential difference across the plates is V0 and the energy stored is PEC,0. If the capacitor is disconnected from its voltage source and the space between the plates is then filled with a dielectric of constant = 2.00, evaluate the ratios (a) Cnew/C0, (b) Vnew/V0, and (c) PEC,new/PEC,0.
Calculate the equivalent capacitance between points a and b in Figure P26.77. Notice that this system is not a simple series or parallel combination. Suggestion: Assume a potential difference v between [joints a and b. Write expressions for vab in terms of the charges and capacitances for the various possible pathways from a to b and require conservation of charge for those capacitor plates that are connected to each other.
A parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance 3.00 F. (a) How much energy is stored in the capacitor if it is connected to a 6.00-V battery? (b) If the battery is disconnected and the distance between the charged plates doubled, what is the energy stored? (c) The battery is subsequently reattached to the capacitor, but the plate separation remains as in part (b). How much energy is stored? (Answer each part in microjoules.)
What total capacitances can you make by connecting a 5.00 F and an 8.00 F capacitor together?
Example 25.1 explored a cylindrical capacitor of length with radii a and b for the two conductors. In the What If? section of that example, it was claimed that increasing by 10% is more effective in terms of increasing the capacitance than increasing a by 10% if b 2.85a. Verify this claim mathematically.

A capacitor is constructed from two square, metallic plates of sides and separation d. Charges +Q and Q are placed on the plates, and the power supply is then removed.

(b) Calculate the energy stored in the capacitor. (c) Find the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the plates on the dielectric. (d) Obtain a numerical value for the force when x = /2, assuming = 5.00 cm, d = 2.00 mm, the dielectric is glass ( = 4.50), and the capacitor was charged to 2.00 103 V before the dielectric was inserted. Suggestion: The system can be considered as two capacitors connected in parallel. Figure P20.85
True or False? (a) From the definition of capacitance C = Q/V it follows that an uncharged capacitor has a capacitance of zero. (b) As described by the definition of capacitance, the potential difference across an uncharged capacitor is zero.
