A 13-microf capacitor and acapacitor of unknown capacitance


A 13-µF capacitor and acapacitor of unknown capacitance are both charged to 2.90 kV. After charging, the two capacitors aredisconnected from the voltage source. The capacitors are then connected to each other--positive plate to negative plate and negative plate to positive plate. The final voltage across theterminals of the 13-µF capacitoris 1.00 kV.

a) What is the capacitance of the second capacitor in µF?
b) How much energy (in J) is dissipated when the connection wasmade?
