- 5. A 0.05-µF capacitor is connected in parallel with a 10-nF capacitor. How much capacitance must be connected in parallel with this combination if the total capacitance is to be 100-nF?arrow_forwardWe connect a 6 uF capacitor to the terminals of a 12 V battery, leaving it for a long time. Once the capacitor is fully charged, we remove the 12 V battery. Next, we connect the positive plate of the capacitor to the positive terminal of a 6 V battery, and the negative plate of the capacitor to the battery's negative terminal. At the moment the capacitor is connected to the 6 V battery, draw the new circuit. Indicate which plate of the capacitor is positive/negative and the direction of current flow, Calculate the current in the circuit or explain why you can't if it's not possible. Either way, give some qualitative description of what happens. Hint: where is the resistance in a DC circuit without a resistor?arrow_forward5. A series combination of an 18.0 mF capacitor and a resistor are connected to a 125 V battery. After three seconds, the voltage across the capacitor is 49.5 V. (a) What is the resistance of the resistor? (b) If at that three second mark the battery is subsequently removed and the capacitor is allowed to discharge through the resistor then how many excess electrons will remain on the capacitor at the five second mark?arrow_forward
