Consider the circuit shown in the figure below, where C1 = 8.00 μF, C2 = 6.00 μF, and ΔV = 18.0 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. (a) Calculate the initial charge (in μC) acquired by C1. (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) μC (b) Calculate the final charge (in μC) on each capacitor. (Round your answers to at least the nearest integer.) Q1 = μC Q2 = μC (c) What If? After a very long time, switch S1 is also closed. By what amount does the charge on the second capacitor change after S1 has been closed for a very long time? (Give your answer in μC.) μC

Two capacitors of equal capacitance C are connected as shown. Initially the switch S is open, and the left capacitor is charged with charge Q, while the other capacitor is uncharged. At time t = 0 the switch is closed. (a) (7 Pts.) Find the charge on the left capacitor after charge equilibrium is reached. (b) (7 Pts.) How much energy is lost when the capacitors are connected? Now, a material with dielectric constant K is inserted to completely fill the left capacitor. The two capacitors remain connected while the material is filled. (c) (8 Pts.) What is the final charge Q′ on the left capacitor? (d) (8 Pts.) What is the total final energy stored in both capacitors?

Consider the circuit shown in the diagram below. The potential difference across the points a and b is ΔV = 120.0 V and the capacitors have the following values: C1 = 12.0 μF, C2 = 5.00 μF, C3 = 2.00 μF, and C4 = 10.0 μF. Initially the capacitors are all uncharged. (a) What is the total charge that has to flow through meter A for the capacitors to go from the initial uncharged state to the final state when they are fully charged? mC (b) What is the charge on each fully charged capacitor? Q1 = mC Q2 = mC Q3 = mC Q4 = mC
