Question

What happens when 2 capacitors are connected with:opposite polarity plates connected together and same polarity plates are connected together

Open in App
Solution

Case1: When capacitors' opposite polarity plates are connected together:


Total charge, Q1Q2 , here charge will be subtracted.

So, common potential will be, Q1Q2C1+C2

Case2: When capacitors' same polarity plates are connected together:


Total charge, Q1+Q2

So, common potential will be, Q1+Q2C1+C2
