David Sang and Graham Jones Solutions for Chapter: Capacitance, Exercise 7: Questions

For each of the four circuits shown in Figure, calculate the total capacitance in $\mu \mathrm{F}$ if each capacitor has capacitance $100\mu \mathrm{F}$.

Given a number of $100\mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitors, how might you connect networks to give the following values of capacitance:

$400\mu \mathrm{F}$ ?

Given a number of $100\mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitors, how might you connect networks to give the value of capacitance to be $25\mu \mathrm{F}$?

(Note that, there is more than one correct answer; try to find the answer that requires the minimum number of capacitors.)

Given a number of $100\mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitors, how might you connect networks to give the value of capacitance to be $250\mu \mathrm{F}$?

(Note that, there is more than one correct answer; try to find the answer that requires the minimum number of capacitors.)

You have three capacitors of capacitances $100\mathrm{pF},200\mathrm{pF}$ and $600\mathrm{pF}$. Determine the maximum and minimum values of capacitance that you can make by connecting them together to form a network. State how they should be connected in each case.

Calculate the capacitance in $\mu \mathrm{F}$ of the network of capacitors shown in Figure,
