    Capacitor Circuit
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on simplifying a capacitor circuit to determine the voltage across Capacitor 3. The circuit includes capacitors C1 (5.3 μF), C2 (1.2 μF), C3 (1.3 μF), and C4 (9.4 μF) with a 20V battery. A participant shares a diagram for verification, which is confirmed as equivalent to the original circuit. A suggestion is made to rotate the diagram for clarity. The conversation emphasizes circuit simplification for voltage analysis.

i just want to simplify this circuit so i can find the voltage across Capacitor 3.
c1= 5.3 μF c2=1.2μF c3=1.3μF c4=9.4μF
Vbattery=20V

yes …

if you flip the top structure through 180°, it makes that fairly obvious :wink:​
 

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
