Hi,can you please help to understand why is the potential difference the same across the gap between the plates of both capacitors connected in parallel?
Crazymechanic said:Cut in half , if you connect capacitors in series , say like two capacitors in series , you input say 120v DC you get 60 measuring from the "middle" to the ground.
For two capacitors in series, the sum of their individual voltages equals the applied voltage.marvelous said:So what if they were connected in series,how would the potential difference be affected?
Electricity is a form of energy that is caused by the movement of electrons. It can be generated through various means, such as chemical reactions, friction, or electromagnetic induction.
Electric potential is the amount of potential energy that a charged particle has due to its position in an electric field. It is measured in volts and can be thought of as the force per unit charge at a given point in an electric field.
Electric potential refers to the amount of potential energy a charged particle has per unit charge at a given point in an electric field. On the other hand, electric potential energy is the energy that a charged particle has due to its position in an electric field. It is measured in joules and is the product of electric potential and the charge of the particle.
The electric potential at a given point is affected by several factors, including the amount of charge present, the distance between charges, and the medium through which the electric field is present. Additionally, the type of charge (positive or negative) and the direction of the electric field will also impact electric potential.
Electric potential is measured in volts, which is defined as joules per coulomb. It can be measured using a voltmeter, which is a device that measures the difference in electric potential between two points. The higher the voltage, the greater the electric potential difference between the two points.
