Re: [Phys-l] Capacitance problem



It's easy to solve this problem in your head, without
writing anything down.

I recommend trying to solve it in your head. I've already given
some huge hints, such as "Linearity Implies Superposition".

If you want some more hints (including the solution), see:

Even if you have trouble solving this in your head, you
should ponder the solution -- and ponder the /method/ of
solution -- so that next time a similar problem comes up,
you can solve it in your head.

This problem is reasonably representative of a wide range
of real-world problems.
