The capacitor is now connected to an identical capacitor, charged to a potential 2V such that the positive polarity plates are connected together. At steady state, the common potential of the capacitors will be equal to Q. A 10μF capacitor and a 20μF capacitor are connected in series across a 200 V supply line.
Q. A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V and then disconnected from the battery. The capacitor is now connected to an identical capacitor, charged to a potential 2V such that the positive polarity plates are connected together. At steady state, the common potential of the capacitors will be equal to Q.
The capacitors are connected in parallel, plates of opposite polarity being connected together. The final potential difference between the plates of the capacitor after they are connected is now equal to_____ Q. A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V and then disconnected from the battery.
If both ends of two capacitors are connected to each other but in such a way that the positive end of one capacitor is connected to the negative end of another capacitor, do we say that the capacitors are connected in series rather than in parallel?
At steady state, the common potential of the capacitors will be equal to Q. A 10μF capacitor and a 20μF capacitor are connected in series across a 200 V supply line. The charged capacitors are then disconnected from the line and reconnected with their positive plates together and negative plates together and no external voltage is applied.
@AaronStevens the capacitor plates are connected to each other via non resistive wires. @Abirbhav See my revised answer. Thanks for contributing an answer to Physics Stack Exchange!
