2. A Tesla coil is being designed, and it needs a "capacitor bank" to withstand 15,000V and have a capacitance of .005F. Numerous individual capacitors will be needed with .0015F and could handle a voltage of 1000V. b. a. Should individual capacitors be arranged in parallel or series to reduce the voltage? How many capacitors are needed in combination to ensure that no individual capacitor has more than 1000V across it? C. What is the capacitance of this combination? d. Should the combinations from question b be combined in series or parallel to increase total capacitance? e. How many combinations from question b should be combined to accomplish the necessary total capacitance of .005F?
