a) A 2.50-μF capacitor is charged to 755 V and a 6.80-μF capacitor is charged to 567 V. These capacitors are then disconnected from their batteries. Next the positive plates are connected to each other and the negative plates are connected to each other. What will be the potential difference across each and the charge on each? Determine the potential difference across the first capacitor. Determine the potential difference across the second capacitor. Determine the charge across the first capacitor. Determine the charge across the second capacitor.

b) The electric field between the plates of a paper-separated (K=3.75) capacitor is 8.24×104 V/m. The plates are 1.85 mm apart, and the charge on each plate is 0.670 μC. Determine the capacitance of this capacitor. Determine the area of each plate.
