Question

Is the potential difference between the plates of each capacitor the same? explain. Do the two capacitors have the same amount of charge on each of their plates? explain.

Do the two capacitors have the same amount of charge on each of their plates? explain

How are the two capacitors like a single capacitor? could you replace the two capacitors with a single capacitor? if so, what would be the charge, Q, on that capacitor in terms of the charges on the originals capacitors? write in terms of an equation.

use the equation that relates the charge Q on the new capacitor to the charges q1 and q2 and the relationship between charge and potential difference for each capacitor to find the capacitance of the replacement capacitor in terms of the capacitances c1 and c2 of the original two capacitors

Explanation / Answer

yes as capacitors are in parallel.. they haave same voltage drop ... nope charge distributes accordin to capacitance of capacitor v = Q/c more tha capacitance more the charge on it so that v = q/c remian constant yes it is replacable by one capacitor : : net capcitance : C1 + C2 Q = (C! +C2)V
