Question

What is the difference between the capacitance of a capacitor when they are connected in by a battery and disconnect from the battery

Open in App

Solution

When a capacitor is connected to a battery it gets charged. When its disconnected from battery it will store charge. When its connected across any circuit element when disconnected from battery, it will discharge.
