(a) A researcher connects a 8.50 V battery to the plates of a capacitor. After waiting a while, the capacitor reaches a maximum amount of 17.0 C of stored charge. What is the value of the capacitance (in F)? F (b) The capacitor is disconnected from the battery, discharged, and then connected to a 12.5 V battery. Again, a long enough time is waited for the capacitor to fully charge. How much charge (in C) is stored now? (Assume the capacitor can handle this new voltage without failing.)
