Consider the circuit shown in Figure P20.52, where C1 = 6.00 F, C2 = 3.00 F, and V = 20.0 V. Capacitor C1 is first charged by closing switch S1. Switch S1 is then opened, and the charged capacitor is connected to the uncharged capacitor by closing S2. Calculate (a) the initial charge acquired by C1 and (b) the final charge on each capacitor.

According to UE=12C(V)2 (Eq. 27.3), a greater capacitance means more energy is stored by the capacitor, but according to UE = Q2/2C (Eq. 27.2), a greater capacitance means less energy is stored. How can both of these equations be correct?
A large parallel-plate capacitor is attached to a battery that has terminal potential (Fig. 27.15A). After a period of time, the capacitor stores charge Q so that its top plate is positive and its bottom plate is negative, and the potential difference between the plates is VC = . An I-shaped neutral conductor consisting of two parallel plates connected by a wire is slipped between the plates of the capacitor so that all four plates are parallel (Fig. 27.15B). What are the charges q1, and q2 on the plates of the I-shaped conductor? What is the potential difference VC between the top and bottom plates of the capacitor?
Suppose that the capacitance of a variable capacitor can be manually changed from 100 pF 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°. If friction is negligible, how much work is required to turn the dial from 180° to 0°?

Using a 10 V power supply and two unknown capacitors (C, and C2), a PHY-102 students conducted the following experiment: the capacitors were connected to the power supply, first individually, then combined in series, and then combined in parallel. in those experiments, the energy stored in the capacitors were found to be, listed greatest to least: 400 µJ, 300 µJ, 100 µJ, and 75 µJ.
