Chapter 26: Q. 26 (page 738)

A 6mFcapacitor, a 10mFcapacitor, and a 16mFcapacitor are connected in parallel. What is their equivalent capacitance?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equivalent capacitance is32μF.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given that A 6mFcapacitor, a 10mFcapacitor, and a 16mFcapacitor are connected in parallel.

We need to find that their equivalent capacitance.

02

Explanation

Using the condition for the capacitor that when capacitors are connected parallel then they are added. Hence we get,

6μF+10μF+16μF=32μF.

Consider a uniformly charged sphere of radius R and total cAlC charge Q. The electric field Eout outside the sphere(r≥R) is simply that of a point charge Q. In Chapter 24, we used Gauss's law to find that the electric field Ein inside the sphere(r≤R) is radially outward with field strength

Ein=14πϵ0QR3r

a. The electric potential Voutoutside the sphere is that of a point charge Q. Find an expression for the electric potentialVinat position r inside the sphere. As a reference, let Vin=Voutat the surface of the sphere.

b. What is the ratio Vcenter/Vsurface?

c. Graph V versus r for 0 ≤r ≤3 R.
