Two parallel plate capacitors are labeled A and B. Capacitor A is filled with air and has an area of  0.0015 m2 and a separation between the plates of 1.3 mm. Capacitor B is filled with mylar and has an  area of 0.00075 m2 and a separation between the plates of 0.2 mm. What is the total capacitance of A  and B if they are combined in series? What is the total capacitance of A and B if they are combined  in parallel? If they are combined in parallel and a voltage of 8.5 V is applied across them how much  energy will they store? Assume the dielectric constant of mylar is 3.2

Question

Two parallel plate capacitors are labeled A and B. Capacitor A is filled with air and has an area of 
0.0015 m2 and a separation between the plates of 1.3 mm. Capacitor B is filled with mylar and has an 
area of 0.00075 m2 and a separation between the plates of 0.2 mm. What is the total capacitance of A 
and B if they are combined in series? What is the total capacitance of A and B if they are combined 
in parallel? If they are combined in parallel and a voltage of 8.5 V is applied across them how much 
energy will they store? Assume the dielectric constant of mylar is 3.2
