Six capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below.
a) If C3 = 2.3 nF, what does C2 have to be to yield an equivalent capacitance of
5 nf for the combination of the two capacitors?
b) For the same values of C2 and C3 as in part (a), what is the value of C1 that will
give an equivalent capacitance of 1.194 nF for the combination of the three
capacitors?
c) For the same values of C1, C2, and C3 as in part (b), what is the equivalent
capacitance of the whole set of capacitors if the values of the other
capacitances are C4 = 1.3 nF, C5 = 1.7 nF, and C6 = 4.7 nF?
d) If a battery with a potential difference of 11.7 V is connected to
the capacitors as shown in the figure, what is the total charge on the six
capacitors?
e) What is the potential drop across C5 in this case?
