Capacitors connected in parallel to store a charge of 1.49 C?

AI Thread Summary
To determine how many 1.48 µF capacitors are needed in parallel to store a charge of 1.49 C at 105 V, the calculation must yield an exact whole number. Rounding is not acceptable since capacitors cannot be purchased in fractions. The discussion suggests that the answer should be rounded up to 9589 capacitors. Participants confirm the importance of using whole numbers in practical applications. This highlights the necessity of precise calculations in capacitor arrangements.

Also, for the answer exact number, no tolerance. I tried just rounding the number but that didn't work. I not sure. Does it mean I should round the answer up to 9589?

Hi McAfee! :smile:

(i haven't checked your figures)

yes, of course

you can't buy 0.16 of a capacitor, can you? :biggrin:

You are right. Thanks for the help.
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
