Question

PART B: measure the capacitance of a series and a parallel combination of two capacitors. THEORY When two capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in series, their equivalent capacitance is 1/Cs = 1/C1 + 1/C2 When two capacitors are connected in parallel, their equivalent capacitance is given by Cp = C1 + C2 PROCEDURE 1. Connect two 0.5 ?F capacitors in series as shown on the right diagram. Set the voltage V = 5.0 V Record the coulombmeter deflection: Qs = 1.3 ?C. Using eq.(1) find the equivalent capacitance Csexp = 0.26 ?F 2. Using eq.(2) find the theoretical Csth = _ ?F and compute the discrepancy D = _ %
