A 13 pF capacitor is connected in series with a 5 pF and 9 pF capacitor that are connected in parallel. The three capacitors are connected to a 26 V battery. (Show all your work!) A) What is the equivalent capacitance of the circuit? B) How much charge is on the 13 pF capacitor? C) What is the potential difference across the 5 pF capacitor?

D) A parallel plate capacitor of plate area A and plate separation d is fully charged using a battery of emf=V. While connected to the battery the plates are pulled apart until the new separation is 3d. Find the change in potential energy when you pull the plates apart.

(20) An isolated parallel-plate capacitor (not connected to a battery) has a charge of Q=1.410-5 C. The separation between the plates initially is d=1.2 mm, and for this separation the capacitance is 3.1x10-11 F. Calculate the work that must be done to pull the plates apart until their separation becomes 4.5 mm, if the charge on the plates remains constant. The capacitor plates are in a vacuum. Show your work!!! Also plz include a picture/description of the problem too plz.
