In an experiment, you build two rectangular parallel plate capacitors with widths of 2.35 cm and using air
as dielectric. The first has a value of 25.0 F, the second is 5.00 F. Both capacitors are connected to a
power supplier of 12.5 V.
a. What is the energy in each capacitor?
b. Later you want both capacitors to have the same amount of energy on them. What voltage should
be applied to one capacitor to obtain this result?
c. Assuming the plates of each capacitor are separated by air 8.00 mm, what is the size of the plate
of each capacitor.
