A transformer has 40 turns in its primary coil and 20 turns in its secondary coil. Is it a step-up transformer or a step-down transformer?
The switch in the above figure is closed at . If the capacitor is initially uncharged, then which of the following graphs best represent the current in the circuit at time ?
Two identical parallel plate capacitors are connected to a battery with the switch closed. When is opened and the free space between the capacitors is filled with a material of dielectric constant , the ratio of the total electrostatic energies stored in both capacitors, after and before the introduction of the dielectric, is .
A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance is charged to using a battery, and is then disconnected from the circuit. How much energy (in microjoules) is required to pull apart the plates such that the distance between them is doubled?
Capacitors in series and parallel
Each capacitor in the above diagram has capacitance . What is the equivalent capacitance?
