1. You will be building the following circuit, where C and C2 are two capacitors that are initially unknown (you will be able to measure them eventually to know what they are). First you will answer some questions on it though, before building the circuit, to test to verify that the theory matches with your observations. C 12V Please print your name. C2 Figure 1 The circuit will be powered with an Instek power supply, set to put out 12V (shown on the left side of the circuit diagram, with the positive terminal going to Ci). When a voltage is applied across two capacitors in series, the two capacitors end up essentially "sharing" the voltage (i.e. part of the 12V will be across C, and the other part across C). How much of the voltage each capacitor ends up with depends on its capacitance. Leaving the capacitance of each capacitor for now as unknowns (Ci and C), derive an equation for the ratio of the voltages across each capacitor. In other words, what does AV AV equal in terms of C and C? 1.
