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 pJ, 100 µJ, and 75 pJ. Of the two capacitors, the smaller capacitance (in pF) is: O 8.0 O 6.0 O 5.0 O 2.0 O 15

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°?
