1. The plates of a capacitor are connected to a battery. What
happens to the charge on the plates if the connecting
wires are removed from the battery? What happens to the
charge if the wires are removed from the battery and connected
to each other?
2. A farad is a very large unit of capacitance. Calculate the
length of one side of a square, air-filled capacitor that has
a capacitance of 1 F and a plate separation of 1 m.
3. A pair of capacitors are connected in parallel while an
identical pair are connected in series. Which pair would be
