a. Calculate the equivalent capacitance in terminals a and b of circuit 1. Use C1 = C2 = A μF, C3 = A/2 μF? Explain starting to end which ones are series or parallel to which one step by step. b. Calculate the equivalent capacitance of circuit 2. Explain starting to end which ones are series or parallel to which one step by step. c. Calculate the charge Q stored in circuit 2 and calculate the total energy stored in the equivalent capacitor. Circuit 1 Circuit 2
![Problem 1 [33 points] Show all relevant work!!! In the circuit C1 = 4 μF, C2 = 3 μF, C3 = 10 μF and C4 = 6 μF. The battery supplies ε = 24 V. (e) [5 points ] A dielectric, with dielectric constant κ = 2 is inserted between the plates of capacitor C2. What is the new equivalent capacitance of the circuit? (f) [3 points] With the new equivalent capacitance from part (e), you build an RC Circuit, like the one in the figure below, where R = 3000 Ω, and ε = 9 V. What is the Capacitive time constant τ of the RC circuit? (g) [5 points] what is the charge stored in capacitor Cl in the new RC circuit in part (f)?](https://www.doubtrix.com/uploads/editor/7977223810zXRUbZWbzD.jpeg)
