Question
Consider the following figure.
C₁
C₂
a
C₁
C3
C₂
C₂
(a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b for the group of capacitors connected as shown in the figure above. Take C₁ = 4.00 μF, C₂ = 15.0 μF, and C3
= 3.00 μF.
Try redrawing the circuit sliding capacitors C₁ and C₂ on the left and right halves of the upper loop towards the outside so that they reside on the vertical segment of conducting wire.
Note that sliding a capacitor along a conducting wire does not affect the circuit as long as you do not pass a junction with another wire. µF
(b) What charge is stored on C3 if the potential difference between points a and b is 60.0 V?
Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. μC
