In a certain configuration, Capacitor 1 has a capacitance C₁, and has twice the charge on its plates as Capacitor 2, which has a capacitance C₂. Capacitor 1 has stored energy W₁, and Capacitor 2 has stored energy W₂. Which of the following statements is true about the relationship between their capacitances and stored energies? (a) C₁ C₂ and W₁ > W₂ (b) C₁ C₂ and W₁ = W₂ (c) C₁ C₂ and W₁ = W₂ (d) C₁ (e) none of the above C₂ and W₁ > W₂

A capacitor uses air as a dielectric and has a capacitance of 3 F. A dielectric material is inserted between the plates without changing the spacing, and the capacitance becomes 15 F. What is the dielectric constant of this material?
4. In what form is the energy of a capacitor stored?
You find that a 25-F capacitor connected to 480 VAC is defective. The storeroom has no capacitors with a 480-VAC rating. However, you find two capacitors rated at 50 F and 370 VAC. Can these two capacitors be connected in such a manner that they can replace the defective capacitor? If yes, explain how they are connected and why the capacitors will not be damaged by the lower voltage rating. If no, explain why they cannot be used without damaging the capacitor.
