1) consider the capacitors pictured in figure 2. assume that a 10 v power supply is connect to the top and bottom wires of the component, and all the capacitors are charged
.a. assume that all of the capacitors are parallel plate capacitors. the size of the plates in each capacitor varies, but the space between the plates is the same. which capacitor (or capacitors) will have the strongest electric field between its plates? explain.
b. if the 0.75 µf capacitor were removed from the circuit, what would happen to the charge on each of the other capacitors? (for each capacitor, determine if the charge would increase, decrease, or stay the same).
c. if the 0.75 µf capacitor were removed from the circuit and replaced by a single wire, what would happen to the charge on each of the other capacitors? (for each capacitor, determine if the charge would increase, decrease, or stay the same).
.d. if the 1.5 µf capacitor were removed from the circuit, what would happen to the charge on each of the other capacitors? (for each capacitor, determine if the charge would increase, decrease, or stay the same).
e. if the 1.5 µf capacitor were removed from the circuit and replaced by a single wire, what would happen to the charge on each of the other capacitors? (for each capacitor, determine if the charge would increase, decrease, or stay the same).
f. if the 3.5 µf capacitor were removed from the circuit, what would happen to the charge on each of the other capacitors? (for each capacitor, determine if the charge would increase, decrease, or stay the same).
g. if the 3.5 µf capacitor were removed from the circuit and replaced by a single wire, what would happen to the charge on each of the other capacitors? (for each capacitor, determine if the charge would increase, decrease, or stay the same)
