Electric Capacitance, Energy of an Electric Field

Problem 3.115

Find the potential difference between points AA and BB of the system shown in Fig. 3.19 if the emf is equal to E=110 V\mathscr{E}=110 \mathrm{~V} and the capacitance ratio C2/C1=η=2.0C_{2} / C_{1}=\eta=2.0.

Reveal Answer
U=E/(1+3η+η2)=10 VU=\mathscr{E} /\left(1+3 \eta+\eta^{2}\right)=10 \quad \mathrm{~V}
