Consider the mutually coupled inductors shown in Figure 3.25(a), with a short connected across the terminals of L2. Derive an expression for the equivalent inductance seen looking into the terminals of L1.
A potential difference of V = 58.0 V is applied across a circuit with capacitances C1 = 4.7 nF, C2 = 3.1 nF, and C3= 1.3 nF, as shown in the figure.a) What is the magnitude and sign of q3l, the charge on the left plate of C3 (marked by point A)?
b) What is the electric potential difference, V3, across C3?
c) What is the magnitude and sign of the charge q2r, on the right plate of C2 (marked by point B)?
Suppose that a parallel-plate capacitor has a dielectric that breaks down if the electric field exceeds K V/m. Thus, the maximum voltage rating of the capacitor is V max =K d, where d is the separation between the plates. In working Problem P3.33, we find that the maximum energy that can be stored is w max = 1 2 ∈ r ∈ 0 K 2 (Vol) in which Vol is the volume of the dielectric. Given that K=32× 10 5 V/m and that ∈ r =1 (the approximate values for air), find the dimensions of a parallel-plate capacitor having square plates if it is desired to store 1 mJ at a voltage of 1000 V in the least possible volume.
