Suppose that the capacitance of a variable capacitor can be manually changed from 100 to 800 pF by turning a dial connected to one set of plates by a shaft, from 0 to 180 . With the dial set at 180 (corresponding to C = 800 pF), the capacitor is connected to a 500-V source. After charging, the capacitor is disconnected from the source, and the dial is turned to 0°. (a) What is the charge on the capacitor? (b) What is the voltage across the capacitor when the dial is set to 0°?

Two capacitors, C1 = 18.0 F and C2 = 36.0 F, are connected in series, and a 12.0-V battery is connected across them. (a) Find the equivalent capacitance, and the energy contained in this equivalent capacitor. (b) Find the energy stored in each individual capacitor. Show that the sum of these two energies is the same as the energy found in part (a). Will this equality always be true, or does it depend on the number of capacitors and their capacitances?

Which capacitor stores more energy in this situation, C1 or C2?
Construct Your Own Problem Consider a battery used to supply energy to a cellular phone. Construct a problem in which you determine the energy that must be supplied by the battery, and then calculate the amount of charge it must be able to move in order to supply this energy. Among the things to be considered are the energy needs and battery voltage. You may need to look ahead to interpret manufacturer’s battery ratings in ampere hours as energy in joules.
Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.40, 8.40, and 4.20F , respectively, are connected in series across a 36.0-V potential difference. (a) What is the charge on the 4.20F capacitor?

Two capacitors are connected in series.(a) If a third capacitor is now connected in series with the original two, does the equivalent capacitance increase, decrease, orremain the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from amongthe following:I. Adding a capacitor generally tends to increase the capacitance, but putting it in series tends to decrease the capacitance; therefore, the net result is no change.II. Adding a capacitor in series will increase the total amountof charge stored, and hence increase the equivalentcapacitance.III. Adding a capacitor in series decreases the equivalent capacitance since each capacitor now has less voltage across it, andhence stores less charge
