Question 1
.
a. Find the followings in Figure 4: (1.5 Marks)
i. Total capacitance CT for C1, C2, C3 & C4.
ii. Total charge QT.
iii. Charge Q4 and Voltage V4.

Figure 1

b. For the parallel plate capacitor as shown in Figure 3 below, calculate the
total capacitance. Given the distance d between the plates is 1cm, the area
of each plate A is 15cm2, and the voltage across them is 5V.

ϵ0=8.854x10−12 C2N⋅m2. (1 Mark )

Figure 2

The key hint to remember here is that the capacitance depends only on the
geometry of the material, not the potential difference or electric field.
