When you add capacitors in series, the Equivalent Capacitance:
Increases
Decreases
Remains constant
Depends on the values of the capacitors
What is the Equivalent Resistance of the following group of resistors?
Take Answer to 1 decimal place.
R = Ohms
What factors will influence the capacitance of a capacitor?
Material
Dielectric
Spacing
Resistors in the Circuit
If voltage remains constant, what happens to the stored charge if I decrease the capacitance of a capacitor?
Remains Constant
Depends on the resistors in the circuit
Kirchoff's rule states current will split at an intersection in a circuit.
Why is it important that a capacitor have equidistant parallel plates?
To keep the electric field constant everywhere
To engage a perpendicular electric field
To connect the (+) and (-) terminals of a battery
They do not have equidistant parallel plates
Which of the following factors affects the resistance of a circuit, but is often not calculated in our class:
Temperature of the wire
Purity of the metals involved
Length of the wires involved
Color of the wires involved
