Circuit Behavior

Any circulating flow constitutes a circuit. Learn how to model the logic boards in your computer, the flow of nutrients in your blood, or the daily fluctuations in the temperature of your house.

Series and parallel capacitors

Given $$C_1 = 5.0 \times 10^{-12} \text{ F}$$ and $$C_2 = 9.0 \times 10^{-12} \text{ F},$$ what is the equivalent capacitance of the circuit above?

Given $$C_1 = 5.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_2 = 9.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_3 = 9.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_4 = 6.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_5 = 8.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_6 = C_7 =C_8 = C_9 = 32.0 \text{ F},$$ and $$C_{10} = C_{11} = C_{12} = C_{13} = 24.0 \text{ F},$$ what is the approximate overall equivalent capacitance of the circuit above?

Given $$C_1 = C_2=4 \text{ F},$$ what is the equivalent capacitance of the two capacitors?

Find the approximate equivalent capacitance of the combination of capacitors in the above figure, where $$C_1 = 5.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_2 = 5.0 \text{ F}.$$ $$C_3 = 5.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_4 = 10.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_5 = 10.0 \text{ F}$$ and $$C_6 = 10.0 \text{ F}.$$

Given $$C_1 = 8.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_2 = 7.0 \text{ F},$$ $$C_3 = 6.0 \text{ F} ,$$ and $$C_4 = 6.0 \text{ F},$$ what is the approximate overall equivalent capacitance of the circuit above?
