Chapter 3, Problem 3.21P
We want to store sufficient energy in a 001-F capacitor to supply 5 horsepower (hp) for 1 hour. To what voltage must the capacitor be charged? (Note One horsepower is equivalent to 745.7 watts.) Does this seem to be a practical method for storing this amount of energy? Do you think that an electric automobile design based on capacitive energy storage is feasible?

The figure displays two circuits with a charged capacitor that is to be discharged through a resistor when a switch is closed. In figure (a)
below, R₁ = 23.32 and C₁ = 5.04 μF. In figure (b) below, R2 = 10.82 and C₂ = 8.10 μF. The ratio of the initial charges on the two
capacitors is 902/901 = 1.61. At time t = 0, both switches are closed. At what time t do the two capacitors have the same charge?
