Figure P27.75 shows four capacitors with CA = 4.00 F, CB = 8.00 F. CC = 6.00 F. and CD = 5.00 F connected across points a and b, which have potential difference Vab = 12.0 V. a. What is the equivalent capacitance of the four capacitors? b. What is the charge on each of the four capacitors?
A Pairs of parallel wires or coaxial cables are two conductors separated by an insulator, so they have a capacitance.
