Question
Capacitor 3 in Fig. 25-41a is a variable capacitor (its capacitance C3 can be varied). Figure 25-41b gives the electric potential VI across capacitor 1 versus C3 The horizontal scale is set by C3s = 12.0 JLF. Electric potential VI approaches an asymptote of 10 V as C3 ----> 00. What are (a) the electric potential V across the battery, (b) Cj,and (c) C2?
Solution
The first step in solving 25 problem number 26 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Capacitor 3 in Fig. 25-41a is a variable capacitor (its capacitance C3 can be varied). Figure 25-41b gives the electric potential VI across capacitor 1 versus C3 The horizontal scale is set by C3s = 12.0 JLF. Electric potential VI approaches an asymptote of 10 V as C3 ----> 00. What are (a) the electric potential V across the battery, (b) Cj,and (c) C2?
From the textbook chapter CAPACITANCE you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
