Using a 10 V power supply and two unknown capacitors (C, and C2), a PHY-102 students conducted the following experiment: the capacitors were connected to the power supply, first individually, then combined in series, and then combined in parallel. In those experiments, the energy stored in the capacitors were found to be, listed greatest to least: 400 pJ, 300 µJ, 100 µJ, and 75 µJ. Of the two capacitors, the greater capacitance (in uF) is: O 2.0 O 6.0 O 8.0 O 1.5 O 5.0

You measure the capacitance C1 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 3.00 mF. 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?
Two capacitors, C1 = 5.92 µF and C2 = 3.30 µF, are connected in parallel, then the combination is connected to a 250 V battery. When the capacitors are charged, each one is removed from the circuit.
