A pulsed carbon dioxide laser has an energy output of 1.00 J. This energy is released in the form of a 10^9 W pulse of infrared radiation lasting 10^-9 s. The laser needs an energy source capable of rapidly releasing 3.00 J of electrical energy. An array of parallel capacitors is used for this purpose. The potential difference across the net - work is 1.00x10^4 V. Find the equivalent capacitance of the network.
