You have two identical capacitors and an external potential source. (a) Compare the total energy stored in the capacitors when they are connected to the applied potential in series and in parallel. (b) Compare the maximum amount of charge stored in each case. (c) Energy storage in a capacitor can be limited by the maximum electric field between the plates. What is the ratio of the electric field for the series and parallel combinations?

Compare the total energy stored in the capacitors when they are connected to the applied potential in series and in parallel.

 

The sketch below is a side view of two capacitors consisting ofparallel plates in air. The capacitor plates are equal in area butthe plate separation differs as shown. Individual capacitors arespecified with two letters, for example UR is a single capacitor.The charge on plate U is represented by QU. The capacitors arecharged so that the potential (voltage) at A, VA, initially equals19 volts. For each of the statements choose the properresponse.

1) QT is ... QU.
2)The voltage across capacitor TS is ... thatacross capacitor UR.
3)If the plate separation for capacitor TSdecreases, the energy stored in UR will ....
4)The energy stored in capacitor UR is ... theenergy stored in capacitor TS.
5)If the plate separation for capacitor TSincreases, the charge on QU will ... .
6)QU + QR is ... zero.
7)The electric field between plates T andS is ... that between plates Uand R.
pick one for each( equal to, less than,greater than, increase,decrease,not change)
please explain in detail, i would really appreciateit

Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.0 µF, 8.6 µF, and 4.1µF are connected in series across a 36-V potentialdifference.

(A) What is the charge on the 4.1μF capacitor? ( Express youranswer using two significant figures )

i tried to find it and my answers was : ( 7.5*10^2 ) , ( 745 ) , (17 ) , ( 74 ) , ( 74.2 ) all are wrong :(

(B) What is the total energy stored in all three capacitors?(Express your answer using two significant figures)

(C) The capacitors are disconnected from the potentialdifference without allowing them to discharge. They are thenreconnected in parallel with each other, with the positivelycharged plates connected together. What is the voltage across eachcapacitor in the parallel combination? (Express your answer usingtwo significant figures)

(D) What is the total energy now stored in the capacitors?(Express your answer using two significant figures)

Thanks alot !
