Hi Guys,
I hope you can help
A friend and I are having a debate about capcitors and now we are both a bit confused!
So I have a few questions.
Firstly, if you take for example a 10,000uf capacitor charged to 12v, then connect it in parellel with an uncharged capacitor that is also 10,000uf, you end up with 6v in both capcitors but only half the joules you started with...
How is the energy disipitated from the system?
Is charging a capacitor only 50% efficient?
I hope you can help
