Homework Statement
When two capacitors are connected parallel,
the equivalent capacitance is 2.6 μF. If the
same capacitors are reconnected in series, the
equivalent capacitance is one-fourth the ca-
pacitance of one of the two capacitors.
PART A: Determine the capacitance of the larger capacitor
Answer in units of μF.
PART B: Determine the capacitance of the smaller capacitor.
Answer in units of μF.
Homework Equations
[tex]\frac{1}{Cs}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{C1}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{C2
}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
1) [tex]\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{4}Cs}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{C1}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{C2
}[/tex]
2) C2 = 2.6-C1
3) [tex]\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{4}Cs}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{C1}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2.1-C1
}[/tex]
..and I have no idea how to go from here?
