In a heart pacemaker, a pulse is delivered to the heart 81 times per minute. The capacitor that controls this pulsing rate discharges through a resistance of 1.8e6 ohms. One pulse is delivered every time the fully charged capacitor loses 62.9 % of its original charge. What is the capacitance of the capacitor? Answer in farads.

Because the capacitor loses 62.9% of its original charge:
q = ...
Solution Summary
The solution is given as a step-by-step equational process.
Two capacitors are connected in parallel. If a third capacitor is connected in parallel with the other two, does the equivalent capacitance increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain.
