Question about the Redistribution of Charges

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the interpretation of an equation related to charge redistribution in capacitors, specifically questioning the representation of charge stored in capacitor CN. The author suggests that the equation should reflect the difference voltage across CN rather than simply using Vref. A simulation involving two capacitors, C1 and C2, was conducted to validate this perspective. Participants also addressed issues with image clarity and forum usage, emphasizing the need for better visuals to support the discussion. Overall, the conversation highlights a technical disagreement regarding the physics of capacitor charge calculations.

TL;DR Summary
Redistribution of charge principal : How does the negative charge Q redistribute after reconnecting it to a positive voltage Vdd=5V?
Hi folks,
I was trying to understand how the author get the equation (10) that you see in the highlighted page where it is written Vref*CN represent the charge stored within CN which I do not agree for the moment.
so I did a small simulation whith two capacitors C1=2uF and C2=3uF to check if I am right ,I feel like I am right but not the author!!! link to the experiments: two caps charge and discharge
if it was me I would write in the first term of the equation (10) not Vref but [1-CN/Ctotal]*Vref because the charge created by the Cn in Fig 2 (c) is the difference voltage across the CN multiplied by CN!!!!
please help to understand the physics of what is going on at electron level?

Sorry my bad. i want to edit/delete it, but I could not find any way to do it like in other forums? is there a guide for how to use it?
You can edit original post only for a limited time. Please add a better image in a reply and moderators will do some cleaning.

Here it the picture, hopefully it is more clear.

Seems the forums always reduce the quality of the image to reduce the size!!!

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
