- A pair of capacitors with capacitances CA = 3.70 F and CB = 6.40 F are connected in a network. What is the equivalent capacitance of the pair of capacitors if they are connected a. in parallel and b. in series?arrow_forwardA system of capacitors is shown below. What is the equivalent capacitance of the system is the individual capacitors are; Express the answer in microFarads. For example, if the answer came out to be 4.98 X 10-7 F, this is the same as 49.8 microFarads. You would then answer with the numeric value of 4.98. C₁ = 9 x 10-6 F C₂ = 8.8 x 10-6 F C3 = 3.6 x 10-6 F C4 = 4 x 10-6 F C5 = 8.2 x 10-6 F C1 C3 C4 C5 12 volts C2arrow_forwardUseful Constants: k = 9.00 × 10º Nm² C2 €0 = 8.85 × 10–12 C² Nm2 e = 1.6 × 10¬19C %3D mẹ = 9.11 x 10~31 kg %3D 27 kg = 1.67 × 10 mp mn = 1.68 × 10-27kgarrow_forward
