Unreasonable Results

Avg difficulty 2.5

(a) An 8.00 µF8 . \text{00 }\mu\text{F} capacitor is connected in parallel to another capacitor, producing a total capacitance of 5.00 µF5 . \text{00 }\mu\text{F}. What is the capacitance of the second capacitor? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
