charge of 6.50 nC. The magnitude of the electric field of the plates is 4.75x10 5 V/m. Find
the (a) potential difference between the plates, (b) capacitance, and (c) area of a plate.
2. The relative permittivity of a dielectric is 2.25. (a) What is its permittivity? (b) What will
be the capacitance if this dielectric is inserted into a 7.8 F air capacitor?
Combination of Capacitors
3. 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.
4. Suppose the space between the plates of the capacitor is filled with equal thickness of
the same dielectrics but arranged as shown in the figure. What is its capacitance?
5. Two capacitors with 2.0 F and 3.0 F capacitance, respectively, are connected in parallel.
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.
Energy Stored in Capacitor
6. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two rectangular plates, each with an area of 4.5 cm 2
and are separated from each other by a 2.00 mm thick dielectric constant of 5.26. The
capacitor is connected to a 12.0 V battery. How much energy is stored in the capacitor?
