What is the voltage across the 5.6 F upper
right-hand capacitor?
Correct answer: 7.87457 V.
Explanation:
Since C1 and C2 are in series they carry the
same charge
C1 V1 = C 2 V2 ,
= (13.8 F)(17.1 V)
= 235.98 c
0
Q1 = Q02
0
= C12
V
= (3.96943 F)(17.1 V)
= 67.8772 c .
When we remove the dielectric, the sum of
the charges stays the same, and the voltages
on C3 and on C12 (where C12 is the equivalent
capacitance of C1 and C2 in series) are equal
to each other
Q001 + Q003 = Q01 + Q03

What is the energy stored in the system after
the dielectric was removed?
Correct answer: 0.00281856 J.
Explanation:
Since the battery is disconnected, the total
charge is conserved:
Q00 = Q0
0
= Cab
V
= (17.7694 F)(17.1 V)
= 303.857 c .
Therefore, the energy stored is
