    Series or parallel wired capacitors for max power storage

    OK, thank you for clarifying. I now understand completely what you're saying. My only question now is what would cause us to be charge limited? For my test I answered D (either/or) and it was wrong. However, based on your explanation, it seems as though the question did not provide adequate...

    Series or parallel wired capacitors for max power storage

    Alright, just so we're clear, and so I can answer this question correctly on my take home test, the correct answer would be that it doesn't matter how the capacitors are configured, correct? Thanks again for your help. You shed new light on the subject so I now have a much better...

    Series or parallel wired capacitors for max power storage

    Thanks for the thought provoking response. This seems to be the spot I am getting stuck at. Before I posted here, I played around with that formula and its derivatives but its the concept, as you discussed, that is giving me trouble. To me, it seems like the limiting factor would be the...

    Series or parallel wired capacitors for max power storage

    Homework Statement 6. Based on what you can tell so far, if you have an N number of capacitors (say at a nuclear fission site) and you need massive power storage, you would place the N number of capacitors in a. Series b. Parallel c. Combination of series and parallel d. Both choices a and b...
