- Figure P27.75 shows four capacitors with CA = 4.00 F, CB = 8.00 F. CC = 6.00 F. and CD = 5.00 F connected across points a and b, which have potential difference Vab = 12.0 V. a. What is the equivalent capacitance of the four capacitors? b. What is the charge on each of the four capacitors?arrow_forwardA Pairs of parallel wires or coaxial cables are two conductors separated by an insulator, so they have a capacitance. For a given cable, the capacitance is independent of the length if the cable is very long. A typical circuit model of a cable is shown in Figure P27.87. It is called a lumped-parameter model and represents how a unit length of the cable behaves. Find the equivalent capacitance of a. one unit length (Fig. P27.87A), b. two unit lengths (Fig. P27.87B), and c. an infinite number of unit lengths (Fig. P27.87C). Hint: For the infinite number of units, adding one more unit at the beginning does not change the equivalent capacitance.arrow_forwardAn arrangement of capacitors is shown in Figure P27.23. a.
