A capacitor with an unknown capacitance is charged up to a voltage of V1 = 14.3 V using a battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, and the battery is taken away. This capacitor is then connected to a second capacitor with terminal A to terminal A, and terminal B to terminal B. The second capacitor has a capacitance of C2 = 8.16 mF. This second capacitor didn’t have any electric charge on it before the connections were made. After sufficiently long time the common voltage is measured across the capacitors and it is found to be Vcomm = 8.53 V. What is the capacitance of the first capacitor?

When an air capacitor with a capacitance of 340 nF (1 nF =
10−9F) is connected to a power supply, the energy stored in the
capacitor is 1.65×10−5 J . While the capacitor is kept
connected to the power supply, a slab of dielectric is inserted
that completely fills the space between the plates. This increases
the stored energy by 2.30×10−5 J
What is the potential difference between the capacitor
plates?
