Question
Two separate capacitors, C1 and C2
C1 = 36 micro-Coulomb on 3 micro-Farad
C2 = 72 uC on X uF, X = 3.5 , if zero X =2
C2 had a gap of 0.2m maintained by a compressed plastic spring inside the gap, the natural spring length
was 0.5m, the compressed spring length was 0.2 m. Spring constant = 8,000 micro-Newton/ meter
Action: Connected the two capacitors in parallel
