Assume a device is designed to obtain a large potential difference by first charging a bank of capacitors connected in parallel and then activating a switch arrangement that in effect disconnects the capacitors from the charging source and from each other and reconnects them all in a series arrangement. The group of charged capacitors is then discharged in series. What is the maximum potential difference that can be obtained in this manner by using ten 500-F capacitors and an 800-V charging source?

You are working at an electronics fabrication shop. Your current project is on the team producing capacitors for the timer circuit that delays the closing of an elevator door. According to its design specification, the timer circuit is to have a capacitance of 32.0 F between two points A and B. As sour capacitors come off the assembly line, you find that they have a variation of 5.00% from this value. After a team meeting to evaluate this situation, the team decides that capacitances in the range 32.0 0.5 F are acceptable and do not need modification. For capacitances outside this range, the director does not wish to discard the capacitors, but rather to add extra capacitors in series or parallel with the main capacitor to bring the total equivalent capacitance to the exact design value of 32.0 F. You are put in charge of procuring the extra capacitors. What range of capacitances for these extra capacitors do you need to cover the entire range of variation of 5.00%? All capacitances can be measured to three significant figures.
Does the capacitance of a device depend on the applied voltage? Does the capacitance of a device depend on the charge residing on it?
