The image shows a capacitor configuration, between points a and b there is a potential difference of 150 V. The values of the capacitances are: C1 = 215 μF, C2 = 315 μF, C3 = 245 μF and C4 = 110 μF. With the given data, determine: (A) Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b. (B) Calculate the charge on each capacitor. (C) Calculate the potential difference between the ends of each capacitor. (D) Calculate the energy stored in each capacitor. For greater order, organize the data obtained in B, C, and D in a table.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
