Question

How should 3 capacitors and two batteries be connected so that the capacitors store as much energy as possible?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

Where,

The capacitance of the capacitor is “C”,

The voltage across the capacitor is “V”.

To get the maximum energy stored in a capacitor, the voltage applied across it should be maximum. For two batteries, the voltage develop is maximum when both the batteries are connected in parallel.

Thus, the two batteries are connected in series.
