Question

Two capacitors C₁ = 7.7μ F and C₂ = 15.8μ F are connected in series across a 10-Volt battery. They are carefully disconnected
so that they are not discharged and are reconnected to each other (but not the battery) in parallel with positive plate to positive
plate and negative plate to negative plate.
Charge
Find the charge on C₁ after the capacitors are reconnected.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:-

The Capacitance is $C_{1} = 7.7 μF$ and $C_{2} = 15.8 μF$

The capacitance is connected in the series across the voltage is $V = 10 V$

We disconnect the capacitance with the battery but the charge did not discharge now we reconnected to each other in a parallel with the positive plate to the positive plate and the negative plate to the negative plate.

Find:-

a) The charge on a $C_{1}$ after the capacitor reconnected?

b) The final energy stored by the $C_{1}$
