A certain capacitor has rectangular plates 43 cm by 38 cm, and the gap width is 0.20 mm. What is its capacitance? We see that typical capacitances are very small when measured in farads. A one-farad capacitor is quite extraordinary! Apparently it has a very large area A (all wrapped up in a small package), and a very small gap s. i F

Can you look over my work and make sure I did the capacitors, voltage drop, and total charge correctly. Capacitor 1 is 4 f, capacitor 2 is 9 f, and capacitor 3 is 3 f. Also total voltage should be equal to 12 v. Therefore I think I'm doing something wrong here
A capacitive with two parallel plates of a capacity (C) was connected to a battery with a potential difference between its poles (15V), then an insulator was inserted between its two plates instead of air with a constant isolation (2), so the charge stored in any of its plates was (600MC) what is the amount? First: the capacitance of the expansion before the insulator. Second: The energy stored in the electric field between two plates of width before and after inserting the insulator.
