1) Very large capacitors (typically in excess of 1 Farad!) are often used in the DC power wiring of high-power audio amplifier systems installed in automobiles. The capacitors are connected in parallel with the amplifier's DC power terminals, as close to the amplifier as possible, like this: (Automobile chassis) Question: What is the purpose of having a capacitor connected in parallel with the amplifier's power terminals? What benefit does this give to the audio system, overall? 2. Identify the following capacitor values and styles: 3. (a)What is the energy stored in the 10.0 uF capacitor of a heart defibrillator charged to 9.00 x 103 V? (b) Find the amount of stored charge. 4. A 165 uF capacitor is used in conjunction with a motor. How much energy is stored in it when 119 V is applied? 5. A 165 uF capacitor is used in conjunction with a motor. How much energy is stored in it when 119 V is applied?
