Chapter 24, Problem 56P

(choose chapter or problem)

Several 0.25- µF capacitors are available. The voltage each is not to exceed 600 V. You need to make a capacitor with capacitance 0.25µF to be connected across a potential difference of 960 V. (a) Show in a diagram how an equivalent capacitor with the desired properties can be obtained. (b) No dielectric is a perfect insulator that would not permit the flow of any charge through its volume. Suppose that the dielectric in one of the capacitor in your diagram is a moderately good conductor What will happen in this case when your combination of capacitors is connected across the 960 V potential difference?
