a. Suppose Ceq = 40 μF, C₂ = C₁ - 30 μF, and C3 = 20 μF, substitute these values in the above equation to obtain a quadratic equation for C₁. b. Solve the quadratic equation obtained in part (a) by each of the following methods: factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. c. Do both answers from part (b) yield a physically meaningful solution? Why or why not? C₁ 2-11. The equivalent capacitance Ceq of three capacitors connected in series-parallel as shown in Fig. P2.11 is given by Figure P2.11 Series-parallel combination of two capacitors. C₂ -16 C3 Cea = C3 + C₁ C₂ C₁+C₂ Ceq
