Use the exact values you enter to make later calculations. Two capacitors C₁ = 13 µF and C2 = 52 µF are independently charged to voltages V₁ = 21 V and V2 = 63 V respectively. (When entering units, use micro for the metric system prefix μ.) (a) The capacitors are then connected in parallel as shown in the diagram below. |C₁ (i) Once equilibrium is reached, what are the magnitudes of the charges on the two capacitors? Q1 = Q2 = (ii) What is the potential difference across each capacitor? (b) Instead of connecting the positive plate of C₁ to the positive plate of C₂ the two capacitors are connected as shown below. Note that the positive plate of one is connected to the negative plate of the other. |C₂₁ |C₂ |+ (i) Once equilibrium is reached, what are the magnitudes of the charges on the two capacitors now? Q1 = Q2 = (ii) What is the potential difference across each capacitor now?
