All C’s are 8.00 nF. The battery is 12 V. What is the equivalent capacitance? • C12 = 4 nF • C123 = 12 nF • Q123 = C123 x V = 144 nC • Q3 = C3 x V = 96 nC • Q12 = C12 x V = 48 nC • U123 = ½ C123V2 = ½ x 12x10-9 x122 = 864 nJ • U1 = ½ C1V12 = ½ x 8x10-9 x62 = 144 nJ = U2 • U3 = ½ x 8x10-9 x122 = 576 nF • C3 stores most energy, also the highest electric field and most charge, the most stressed part of the circuit.
Circuits • All capacitors being the same, rank the equivalent capacitances of the four circuits.

The force on a filling dielectric as it is inserted between the parallel plates of a capacitor. x L With the battery connected, U1 = ½CV2 With the battery disconnected, U2 = Q2/2C With the battery connected, since x is increasing downwards, a negative force is upwards, pushing the dielectric away. With the battery disconnected, the force is positive and pointed downwards, pulling in the dielectric. The force is proportional to (κ-1) and inversely to L.
