What happens when a charged capacitor is connected to an uncharged capacitor in parallel?
The total charge remains conserved. Whenever a charged capacitor is connected to an uncharged capacitor there is a flow of electrons from charged to uncharged until a steady state situation is arrived. I.e. After this no transfer of charge happens i.e. both the capacitors are in equilibrium condition.
What will happen when 2 capacitor are connected in series?
If two or more capacitors are connected in series, the overall effect is that of a single (equivalent) capacitor having the sum total of the plate spacings of the individual capacitors. With capacitors, its the reverse: parallel connections result in additive values while series connections result in diminished values.
When the plates of a charged capacitor are more separated while the capacitor is still connected to the charging battery What will happen to the energy?
When, seperation between the plates of a charged capacitor increases, capacitance decreases. where, V is the potential applied and d is the distance between the plates of capacitor. Case 1: When, battery is removed, charge q remains constant and potential decreases.
What happens to the capacitor if the space between the plates decreases leaving other factors in constant?
Moving the plates further apart decreases the capacitance, also reducing the charge stored by the capacitor. Now the capacitor is charged by the power supply and then the connections to the power supply are removed. The potential difference across the capacitor: increases.
When capacitors are connected in series between two points all the capacitors possess same?
Also for capacitors connected in series, all the series connected capacitors will have the same charging current flowing through them as iT = i1 = i2 = i3 etc. Two or more capacitors in series will always have equal amounts of coulomb charge across their plates.
