Three capacitors of capacitance `C_1 = 3muf` , `C_2 = 6muf` , `C_3 = 10muf` , are connected to a 10V battery as shown in figure 3 below :
Calculate :
(a) Equivalent capacitance.
(b) Electrostatic potential energy stored in the system

उत्तर
The equivalent capacitance of the series combinationf of `C_1` and `C_2`, is
`C_12 = (C_1.C_2)/(C_1+C_2)`
= `(3 xx 6)/((3 + 6)) muF = 2muF`
This is in parallel with `C_3`.
(a) So the equivalent capacitance of the combination of all the three capacitors, is
`C_(eq) = C_12 + C_3 = (2 + 10) = 12muF`
(b) Electrostatic PE stored in the system, is
`E = 1/2 C_(eq) . V^2`
= `1/2 xx 12muF xx (10V)^2 = 600muJ = 6 xx 10^-4 "J"`

Two capacitors of unknown capacitances C1 and C2 are connected first in series and then in parallel across a battery of 100 V. If the energy stored in the two combinations is 0.045 J and 0.25 J respectively, determine the value of C1 and C2. Also calculate the charge on each capacitor in parallel combination.
A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of unequal area. The larger plate is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the smaller plate to its negative terminal. Let Q, and Q be the charges appearing on the positive and negative plates respectively.
