Review. A storm cloud and the ground represent the plates of a capacitor. During a storm, the capacitor has a potential difference of 1.00 x 108 V between its plates and a charge of 50.0 C. A lightning strike delivers 1.00% of the energy of the capacitor to a tree on the ground. How much sap in the tree can be boiled away? Model the sap as water initially at 30.0C. Water has a specific heat of 4 186 J/kg C, a boiling point of 100C, and a latent heat of vaporization of 2.26 X 106 J/kg.

A 10.0-F capacitor is charged to 15.0 V. It is next connected in series with an uncharged 5.00-F capacitor. The series combination is finally connected across a 50.0-V battery as diagrammed in Figure P26.63.
