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.
A prankster applies 450 V to an 80.0F capacitor and then tosses it to an unsuspecting victim. The victim’s finger is burned by the discharge of the capacitor through 0.200 g of flesh. Estimate, what is the temperature increase of the flesh? Is it reasonable to assume that no thermodynamic phase change happened?
Choose the words that make each statement correct. (i) When two or more resistors are connected in series, the equivalent resistance is always [(a) greater than; (b) less than] any individual resistance. (ii) When two or more resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is always [(c) greater than; (d) less than] any individual resistance.
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? (c) If the same capacitors were connected in parallel, what potential difference would be required across them so that the combination stores the same energy' as in part (a)? Which capacitor stores more energy in this situation, C1 or C2?

Some camera flashes use flash tubes that requite a high voltage. They obtain a high voltage by charging capacitors in parallel and then internally changing the connections of the capacitors to place diem in series. Consider a circuit that uses four AAA batteries connected in series to charge six 10-mF capacitors through an equivalent resistance of 100 . The connections are thenswitched internally to place the capacitors in series. The capacitors discharge through a lamp with a resistance of 100 . (a) What is the RC time constant and the initialcurrent out of the batteries while they are connected in parallel? (b) How long does it take for the capacitors to charge to 90% of the terminal voltages of the batteries? (c) What is the RC time constant and the initial current of the capacitors connected in series assuming it discharges at 90% of full charge? (d) How long does it rake the current to decrease to 10% of the initial value?
