Slide01 Capacitor - Extra Examples Solutions

The document contains multiple examples of capacitor circuit calculations: 1) A capacitor's capacitance changes from 200 mF to 500 mF when a dielectric is inserted. The dielectric constant is calculated to be 2.50. 2) A network of five capacitors each rated at 40 μF is shown. The total capacitance between points A and B is calculated to be 80 μF. 3) In a circuit with multiple capacitors, the voltage on capacitor C3 is calculated to be 9.0 V and its charge is calculated to be 270 μC.
