A set of capacitors are said to be in parallel if the positively-charged sides of each are directly connected by a wire (so positive charges can freely flow between the positive plates of any capacitor) and the negative sides are likewise directly connected together. A. Two capacitors with the same plate separation d = 1 mm, but areas A = 0.2 m and A2 = 0.3 m, are connected in parallel. 1. Find the capacitance of each capacitor, separately. 4, 2. Use the capacitor-sum rule to compute the total capacitance. A set of capacitors are said to be in series if they are connected in turn: one side of the first is directly connected to one side of the second, then the opposite side of the second is directly connected to one side of the third, etc. B. Two capacitors with the same area A = 0.2 m, but plate separations d = 1 mm and d = 1.5 mm, are connected in series. 1. Find the capacitance of each capacitor, separately. 2. Use the capacitor-sum rule to compute the total capacitance. d d
