Create an illustration of a series circuit that connects a battery and five capacitors and with a total capacitance of 3/7 F. The total charge in the circuit must be 2/9 C.
Look at a circuit
made up of a
resistor, a battery, a
capacitor, and a
switch. Take the time
constant of the circuit
to be 3.12 seconds.
So if the resistor has
a current of 420 mA
and a voltage of 12.0
V when the switch is
closed, calculate the
capacitance of the
capacitor.
A circuit contains a single 220-pF capacitor hooked across a battery. It is desired to store four times as much energy in a combination of two capacitors by adding a single capacitor to this one. What would its value be?

- The immediate cause of many deaths is ventricular fibrillation, an uncoordinated quivering of the heart, as opposed to proper beating. An electric shock to the chest can cause momentary paralysis of the heart muscle, after which the heart will sometimes start organized beating again. A defibrillator is a device that applies a strong electric shock to the chest over a time of a few milliseconds. The device contains a capacitor of a few microfarads, charged to several thousand volts. Electrodes called paddles, about 8 cm across and coated with conducting paste, are held against the chest on both sides of the heart. Their handles are insulated to prevent injury to the operator, who calls Clear! and pushes a button on one paddle to discharge the capacitor through the patient's chest Assume an energy of 3.00 102 W s is to be delivered from a 30.0-F capacitor.

- Electrogenic fish, like electric eels, have the ability to create fairly large voltages that can be used for defense or to stun their prey (see the photo). The electric eel has three organs along the length of its body that allow it to produce electricity. The organs contain special cells, called electrocytes, that can generate a voltage of 0.15 V/cell.
