Question
Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.)
![Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let \( C = 12.0 \, \mu\text{F} \).)
Diagram Description:
The circuit contains four capacitors connected in a rectangular configuration. The top left capacitor is labeled \( C = 12.0 \, \mu\text{F} \). The top right capacitor is \( 3.00 \, \mu\text{F} \). The bottom right capacitor is \( 20.0 \, \mu\text{F} \), and the bottom left capacitor is \( 6.00 \, \mu\text{F} \). Points \( a \) and \( b \) are marked on the left and right sides of the circuit, respectively.
(a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points \( a \) and \( b \).
\[ 8.4 \, \mu\text{F} \]
(b) Calculate the charge on each capacitor, taking \( \Delta V_{ab} = 20.0 \, \text{V} \).
\[
\begin{align*}
20.0 \, \mu\text{F} \text{ capacitor} & \quad \_\_\_\_ \, \mu\text{C} \\
6.00 \, \mu\text{F} \text{ capacitor} & \quad \_\_\_\_ \, \mu\text{C} \\
3.00 \, \mu\text{F} \text{ capacitor} & \quad \_\_\_\_ \, \mu\text{C} \\
\text{capacitor } C & \quad \_\_\_\_ \, \mu\text{C} \\
\end{align*}
