Chapter 17, Problem 3CQ

If you connect a 1.8 F and a 2.6 F capacitor in series, what will be the equivalent capacitance?

Suppose that a particular heart defibrillator uses a 1.5 x 10-5 Farad capacitor. If it is charged up to a voltage of 7300 volts, how much energy is stored in the capacitor? Give your answer as the number of Joules.

The voltage difference across an 8.3 nanometer thick cell membrane is 6.5 x 10-5volts.  What is the magnitude of the electric field inside this cell membrane? (Assume the field is uniform, and give your answer as the number of Volts per meter... which is the same as the number of Newtons per Coulomb.)

Three identical capacitors are connected in parallel. When this parallel assembly of capacitors is connected to a 12 volt battery, a total of 3.1 x 10-5 coulombs flows through the battery. What is the capacitance of one individual capacitor? (Give your answer as the number of Farads.)

Suppose you construct your own capacitor by placing two parallel plates at a distance 0.27 meters apart. The plates each have a surface area of 0.64 square meters. What is the capacitance of this setup? (Give your answer as the number of Farads.)

Draw a diagram with the new arrows. No they do not point all towards the center.

Example In Canada, the Earth has B = 0.5 mŢ, pointing north, 70.0° below the horizontal. a) Find the magnetic force on an oxygen ion (O2) moving due east at 250 m/s b) Compare the |FB| to |FE| due to Earth's fair- weather electric field (150 V/m downward).

Four charges, qa, qb, qa, and qd are fixed at the corners of a square. A charge q that is free to move located at the exact center of the square. Classify the scenarios described according to the force that would be exerted on the center charge q. Assume in each case that q is a positive charge. Do not assume that the fixed charges have equal magnitudes unless the scenario defines such an equality. qa Яс q %b Force is zero Force is to the left Force is to the right Force is undetermined

Charge qi = -q is located at position (0, d). Charge q = −2q₁ is located at position (d,0). Charge q3 = located at position (2d, 2d). 5qi is y Determine the net electric field Ĕ net at the origin. Enter your expression using ij unit vector notation in terms of the given quantities, the permittivity of free space €0, and exact rational and irrational numbers. d 9₁ d TH net = 92 d d X
