Chapter 25 Capacitance-II In the last lecture: we calculated the capacitance C of a system of two isolated conductors. We also calculated the capacitance for some simple geometries. In this chapter we will cover the following topics: -Methods of connecting capacitors (in series , in parallel). -Equivalent capacitance. -Energy stored in a capacitor. -Behavior of an insulator (a.k.a. dielectric) when placed in the electric field created in the space between the plates of a capacitor. -Gauss’ law in the presence of dielectrics.

HITT An electron moves from point i to point f, in the direction of a uniform electric field. During this displacement: A. the work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system increases B. the work done by the field is negative and the potential energy of the electron-field system increases C. the work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system decreases D. the work done by the field is negative and the potential energy of the electron-field system decreases E. the work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system does not change j i
A question • What is the equivalent capacitance between the points A and B? • 1 μF • B. 2 μF • 4 μF • 10μF • None of these A B What would a 10V battery do, i.e. how much charge will it provide, when it is connected across A and B? 40 μC
