Two capacitors C1 = 6.20 μF and C2 = 14.4 μF are connected in series across a 15.0-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. Find the charge on C1 after the capacitors are reconnected. (I keep getting 9.3*10-5, 3.09*10-4, and 6.501*10-5 but none of them are correct) Find the final energy stored in C1.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
