24.16. For the system of capacitors shown in Fig. E24.16, find the equivalent capacitance (a) between b and c, and (b) between a and c. Figure E24.16 15 pF 9.0 pF 11 pF

Two capacitors give an equivalent capacitance of 9.68 pF whenconnected in parallel and an equivalent capacitance of 1.64 pF whenconnected in series. What is the capacitance of eachcapacitor?
smaller capacitance ? pF
larger capacitance ? pF

A 170-pF capacitor and a 680-pF capacitor are both charged to 1.90kV. They are then disconnected from the voltagesource and areconnected together, positive plate to negative plateand negativeplate to positive plate.
