    Question About a Test Charge Near a Conductor

    I am confused because I thought this was a method of charging a conductor. Why would the system be reaching a state of equilibrium?

    Potential Difference over Capacitors in Series

    Yes Dave, the question was asking about the difference across the two capacitors. V1 = V2 as they are in parallel. I did not understand it.

    Potential Difference over Capacitors in Series

    V1 = Q/30 In parallel: C = C1 + C2 V2 = Q/(60 + 90) V1/V2 = 3 V1 = 3V2
