Problem 65P
CE Two capacitors, C1 = C and C2 = 2C, are connected to a battery,
(a) Which capacitor stores more energy when they are connected to the battery in series? Explain,
(b) Which capacitor stores more energy when they are connected in parallel? Explain.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
(a)
Here we need to determine the capacitor which stores more energy when the capacitors and
are connected in series to the battery.
In case of series combination of capacitors, the charge on the capacitor remains same on all the capacitors in series combination.
