PHYS 2212 Problem Solving Studio 06 Your Name: Feb 28 Mar 03 Section: Capacitor Crash & Burn Grade: You are in the electronics lab, soldering together a capacitive voltage divider for your robotics project. The divider is a series arrangement of four capacitors, having Other Team Members capacitances of 4.0 F, 8.02F, 12 pF and 6.0 F (in that order). When you apply a test voltage of 60 V across the divider, you hear a "pop" and smell burning plastic. Looking closely at the network, you cannot see any visible clues that would indicate which capacitor popped. Looking up the specs on each capacitor, you see that they can withstand maximum internal voltages of 30 V, 20V, 10V. and 10 V (in the same respective order is above). You need to figure out which capacitor(s) you must replace, and what maximum voltage you can place across the repaired network Instructions: Construct a visual representation of the situation described, with all physical quantities represented by symbolic variables. Identify the concepts that will be needed to answer the question posed, as well as any simplifying sump- tions that you will do. Outline a plan (that is, a series of analytical steps) that you will solve the problem, and then follow those steps to solve the problem. You may work as a group to complete this exercise, but cach student is expected to submit an individual solution.
