Series and Parallel Circuits
Tip #3: Power Ratings in Series/Parallel. This sort of series and parallel combination of resistors works for power ratings, too. Let''s say that we need a 100Ω resistor rated for 2 watts (W), but all we''ve got is a bunch of 1kΩ quarter-watt (¼W) resistors (and it''s 3am, all the Mountain Dew is gone, and the coffee''s cold).

18.5 Capacitors and Dielectrics
The top capacitor has no dielectric between its plates. The bottom capacitor has a dielectric between its plates. Because some electric-field lines terminate and start on polarization charges in the dielectric, the electric field is less strong in the capacitor. Thus, for the same charge, a capacitor stores less energy when it contains a ...
