In Fig. 25-29, find the equivalent capacitance of the combination. Assume that , and

How much energy is stored in of air due to the 鈥渇air weather鈥 electric field of magnitude 150 V/m?
Figure 25-42 shows a 12 V battery and four uncharged capacitors of capacitances and . If only switch is closed, (a) What is the charge on capacitor 1, (b) What is the charge on capacitor 2, (c) What is the charge on capacitor 3, and (d) What is the charge on capacitor 4? (e) If both switches are closed what is the charge on capacitor 1? (f) If both switches are closed what is the charge on capacitor 2? (g) If both switches are closed what is the charge on capacitor 3? (h) If both switches are closed what is the charge on capacitor 4?

You are to connect capacitances and, with, to a battery, first individually, then in series, and then in parallel. Rank those arrangements according to the amount of charge stored, greatest first.
In Fig. 25-34 the battery has potential difference and all the capacitors are initially uncharged. When switch S is closed, a total charge ofpasses through point aand a total charge ofpasses through point b. What are (a)and (b)?
