Calculating Charge with known voltage and Capacitance in a network

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the charge Q1 on the positive plate of a capacitor, the formula Q=VCeq is used, where Ceq is the equivalent capacitance found to be 7.6E-6. However, the initial calculation yielded an incorrect result. Additional questions include calculating the charge Q4 on capacitor C4, the voltage V2 across capacitor C2, and the total energy stored in the capacitor network. To assist in identifying the error, it is suggested to provide detailed calculations for review. Clarifying these calculations is crucial for resolving the discrepancies in the results.

Calculate the charge Q1, on the positive plate of capacitor.

In a previous step in the problem I found the Ceq to be 7.6E-6 and know this to be the correct answer.

Q=VCeq
I used the equation above but the number I found was incorrect.

I am also asked these question and I have no idea what to do with them:

I am also asked this question:

Calculate the charge Q4, on the positive plate of capacitor C4.

Calculate the voltage V2, across capacitor C2.

What is the total energy stored in this capacitor network?

You'll have to show more of your work so that we can see what's gone wrong. Can you post your calculations?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
