A circuit has a capacitor (40nF) in series with a 10kΩ resistor and this combination is in parallel with two other resistances of 20kΩ and 60kΩ. This network is connected with a 20mA current source for a long time before the terminals of the current source are shorted at t = 0. After t = 0, the energy stored in the capacitor will be dissipated in the three resistances. Find the power p(t) in watts dissipated in each of the resistors, for t ≥ 0

You are an electrician working in an industrial plant. You discover that the problem with a certain machine is a defective capacitor. The capacitor is connected to a 240-volt AC circuit. The information on the capacitor reveals that it has a capacitance value of 10 mF and a voltage rating of 240 VAC. The only 10-mF AC capacitor in the storeroom is marked with a voltage rating of 350 WVDC. Can this capacitor be used to replace the defective capacitor? Explain your answer.

The two parallel plate capacitors (C1 and C2) are initially charged by an external power source and the power source is disconnected later, leaving the two capacitors charged as seen in the figure. The capacitor C1 has dielectric material between its parallel plates. The length of the two parallel plate capacitors are the same. The distance between the parallel plates of the capacitors are also the same. However the width of C1 is 2a whereas the width of C2 is a. The amount of charge stored in C1 is Q1 = 10q. It is also observed that the amount of charge stored in C2 becomes Q2 = 4q if the dielectric material in C1 is removed (and replaced by air). What is the dielectric constant of the dielectric material that is used in C1?
