Theories on Series and Parallel capacitors

AI Thread Summary
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the potential across each capacitor is the same, while in series, the total voltage is the sum of the potentials across each capacitor. In series connections, the charge on each capacitor is equal, but the potential varies. The total charge supplied by the battery equals the sum of the charges on all positive conductors in each capacitor. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving related homework problems. Referencing resources like HyperPhysics can provide additional clarity on these concepts.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
