Suppose that the capacitance of a variable capacitor can be manually changed from 100 pF to 800 pF by turning a dial, connected to one set of plates by a shaft from 0° to 180°. With the dial set at 180° (corresponding to C — 800 pF), the capacitor is connected to a 500-V source. After charging, the capacitor is disconnected from the source, and the dial is turned to 0°. If friction is negligible, how much work is required to turn the dial from 180° to 0°?

You measure the capacitance Cı of a capacitor by doing the following: First connect capacitors C1 and C2 in series to a power supply that provides a voltage V that can be varied. The capacitance of C2 is known to be 5.00 µF. Then vary the applied voltage V, and for each value of V measure the voltage V2 across C2. After plotting your data as V2 versus V, you find that the data fall close to a straight line that has slope 0.650. What is the capacitance C1? Express your answer with the appropriate units. ?
