a potential difference of 120 V is applied?
A 200 pF capacitor is charged to a potential difference
of 70 V, and the charging battery is disconnected. The
capacitor is then connected in parallel with a second
(initially uncharged) capacitor. If the potential difference
across the first capacitor drops to 46 V, what is the
capacitance of this second capacitor?
A 2.0 F capacitor and a 6.0 F capacitor, are connected
in parallel across a 400 V potential difference. Calculate
