Tutorial Questions
1. The two metal object have net charges of +70 pC and -70 pC, which results in a 20 V potential
difference between them. (a) What is the capacitance of the system? (b) If the charges are changed
to +200 pC and -200 pC, what does the capacitance becomes? (c) What does the potential difference
become?
2. In the figure above, the battery has a potential difference of V = 10 V and the five capacitors each
have a capacitance of 10 µF. What is the charge on (a) capacitor 1 and (b) capacitor 2?
3.
The figure above has a 20 V battery which is connected across capacitors of capacitances C1 = C6 = 3
µF and C3 = C5 = 2 µF, C2 = 4 µF. what are (a) the equivalent capacitance of the capacitors and (b) the
charge stored by equivalent capacitance? What are the values of the followings (c) V1, (d) q1 of C1, (e)
V2, (f) q2 of C2, (g) V3 and (h) q3 of C3?
