    Simple Capacitor and Conservation of Charge Question.

    No I created the the Q1+Q2=q1+ q2 based on my assumption of conservation of charge. My drawings looks something like this: (x) is just empty space ignore them. Original set-up (1): x--+C1--x |xxxxxxx| x--+C2--x |xxxxxxx| x--+dV--x Afterwards (2): x--+C1--+C2--x |xxxxxxxxxxxxx|...

    Net Electrostatic Force of 4 Charges at a Regular Triangle Pyramid

    Being new, I responded before reading the rules (which states that you must show your work before anyone can help), my apologies.

    Net Electrostatic Force of 4 Charges at a Regular Triangle Pyramid

    A problem I used to have is visualizing how the forces would interact. Where I believe you are going wrong is you are trying to make a 3d problem a 2d problem. When dealing with an regular triangular pyramid you'll find that due to symmetry and your charges all being the same most components...

    Simple Capacitor and Conservation of Charge Question.

    Homework Statement Capacitors C1 = 6.18 µF and C2 = 1.69 µF are charged as a parallel combination across a 250 V battery. The capacitors are disconnected from the battery and from each other. They are then connected positive plate to negative plate and negative plate to positive plate...
