Okay, so I put it to numbers and got the answer, I just want to make sure that what I'm saying is makes sense. First I calculated the initial charges on both capacitors using the relationship between charge, capacitance and voltage. So: Q_1=250V*6μF=1500μC and Q_2=250V*2μF=500μC. After they are...
Hmm... I tried to attach the figure on the first post but I guess it didn't work. The thing is though, even if they are in parallel, their initial voltages are the same, and when capacitors are connected in series their voltages are supposed to be the same. So if both capacitors already have a...
Homework Statement
Capacitors C_1=6μF and C_2=2μF are first charged by connecting them in parallel across a 250V battery. The capacitors are then disconnected from the battery and connected positive plate to negative plate and negative plate to positive plate. Calculate their charges...
