Consider capacitors C1, C2, and C3, which are connected in series in a closed loop. A switch is placed between C1 and C2. With the switch open, C1is charged to 12.0 volts by a battery. The battery is then disconnected and the switch is closed
Determine the final charge on each capacitor, and the potential difference across each, given that C1 = 2.00 ?F, and C2 = C3 = 3.00 ?F.
Q1 = 13.7 ?F; V1 = 6.88 V
Q2 = Q3 = 10.3 ?C; V2 = V3 = 3.43 V

A slide projector needs to focus the image of a 24.0-mm × 36.0-mm slide onto a square screen 1.50 m on each side
You want to fill the screen as completely as possible without any of the image falling beyond the screen. Due to space constraints in the projector, the slide must be placed 10.5 cm from the lens. (a) What magnification does the projector produce? (b) How far from the lens should the screen be placed? (c) What focal length projector lens is needed?
