In Fig.1, capacitor C1 is charged by a 20-V-battery when switch S1 is closed. After charging, C1 is connected to C2 as shown in Fig.2 with an open switch S2. Calculate the charge transferred from C1 to C2 when S2 is closed.
Integrated ConceptsSingly charged gas ions are accelerated from rest through a voltage of 13.0 V. At what temperature will the average kinetic energy of gas molecules be the same as that given these ions?
I think you didn't account for the 10 V battery that gets placed in between A and B. I just don't understant why R2 and R3 become parallel to each other after placing the battery. So the answer is actully to add R1 and R2 and then find the Parallel ones, so Req = (1/(R1+R2)+ 1/R3)^-1. My question is how do you know which one you do first? Adding the parallel ones or the serial ones?
