AI Thread Summary
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 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
