Capacitors and Capacitance
 

Capacitors and Capacitance problem 24


  • State two uses of capacitors in electrical circuits, other than for the smoothing of direct current.


  • The combined capacitance between terminals A and B of the arrangement shown in the figure below is .




    Two capacitors each have capacitance and the remaining capacitors each have capacitance . The potential difference (p.d.) between terminals A and B is .


    • Determine the capacitance .


    • Calculate the magnitude of the total positive charge transferred to the arrangement.


    • Use your answer in (ii) to state the magnitude of the charge on one plate of


      • a capacitor of capacitance ,


      • a capacitor of capacitance .
