1. You have five 10.0 F capacitors. Show all the possible connections for the five capacitors to produce a total capacitance of 50.0 F.
 
2. Suppose the space between the plates of the capacitor in Sample Problem 2.6 item number 2 is filled with equal thicknesses of the same dielectrics but arranged as shown. What is its capacitance?
 
3. The capacitors in Sample Problem 2.6 item number 3 are connected in parallel instead of being in series. The combination is connected to a 100 V line. Find the (a) total capacitance, (b) charge stored in each capacitor, and (c) potential difference across each capacitor.
