Consider the combination of capacitors in Figure P16.38.

Chapter 16, Problem 16.65

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the combination of capacitors in Figure P16.38. (a) Find the equivalent single capacitance of the two capacitors in series and redraw the diagram (called diagram 1) with this equivalent capacitance. (b) In diagram 1 fi nd the equivalent capacitance of the three capacitors in parallel and redraw the diagram as a single battery and single capacitor in a loop. (c) Compute the charge on the single equivalent capacitor. (d) Returning to diagram 1, compute the charge on each individual capacitor. Does the sum agree with the value found in part (c)? (e) What is the charge on the 24.0-mF capacitor and on the 8.00-mF capacitor? (f) Compute the voltage drop across the 24.0-mF capacitor and (g) the 8.00-mF capacitor.
