Calculate the equivalent capacitance between the points a and b in Figure P26.72. Note that this is not a simple series or parallel combination. (Suggestion: Assume a potential
difference deltaV between points a and b. Write expressions for deltaV ab in terms of the charges and capacitances for the various possible pathways from a to b, and require conservation of charge for those capacitor plates that are connected to each other.)
a. c1
\||
| | |
c2= c3 = = c4
|_|_||_|
c5 \.b
c1 = 4 micro farade
c2 = 2 micro farade
c3 = 8 micro farade
c4 = 4 micro farade
c5 = 2 micro farade
please solve ...
