A Network of Capacitors Is Mostly Inside a Sealed Box $C X$

question 270

Multiple Choice

A network of capacitors is mostly inside a sealed box, but one capacitor $C X$ is sticking out, as shown in the figure. When you connect a multimeter across points $a$ and $b$ , it reads $27.0 \mu \mathrm { F }$ . What is $C X$ ?

• A) \(2.2 \mu \mathrm { F }\)
• B) \(23.0 \mu \mathrm { F }\)
• C) \(2.4 \mu \mathrm { F }\)
• D) \(4.0 \mu \mathrm { F }\)
• E) \(27.0 \mu \mathrm { F }\)

Definitions:

Carbon Dioxide Fixation

The process of converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds, such as glucose, during photosynthesis.

Rubisco

An enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation, a process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted by plants to energy-rich molecules.

RuBP

Ribulose bisphosphate, a substance that plays a critical role in the process of carbon fixation in photosynthesis.

PGAL

PGAL, or Phosphoglyceraldehyde, is a three-carbon molecule that plays a crucial role in both photosynthesis and glycolysis, acting as an intermediate in the conversion of glucose and other sugars.
