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 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
