AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the charge on capacitor C4 in a circuit with given values: V = 9.0 V, C1 = C2 = 27.2 μF, and C3 = C4 = 13.6 μF. The user is struggling to set up the problem correctly and has attempted to use the summation of charges without success. There is confusion regarding the reference figure that illustrates the circuit configuration. Clarification on the circuit layout is necessary for accurate calculations. Understanding the arrangement of the capacitors is crucial for determining the charge on C4.

I have been struggling to figure this question out lately and could use some help setting it up correctly.

As shown in the figure, V = 9.0 V, C1 = C2 = 27.2 μF, and C3 = C4 = 13.6 μF. What is the charge on capacitor 4?

I have tried using the summation of charges and then multiplying by the given potential but I am not getting anywhere, can anyone help me?

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
