Homework Statement
Homework Equations
C =Q/V
c = capacitence
q = charge
v = potential difference
U = Q2 / 2C
U = potential energy
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm just stuck on b. I tried doing Qeq= √(2UC) then using the fact that q1+q2 = Q which is Qeq since charge should be conserved. Then from the fact that at equilibrium the potentials should be equal, q1[itex]/[/itex]c1 =q2[itex]/[/itex]c2
so
q2 + q2c1[itex]/[/itex]c2 = Qeq
But that didn't work.
Apparently the answer is A) 281mJ B) Q1' = 500[itex]\mu[/itex]C Q2' = 250[itex]\mu[/itex]C C) V1' = V2' = 83.3V D) U' = 31.3mJ
