Two capacitors in parallel: potential difference/energy

[QUOTE="BvU, post: 5575926, member: 499340"] Let's go over them. I agree with the 1.92 10[SUP]-4[/SUP]C. The picture below divides the sequence in four steps. Maybe that makes it easier. In step 1 both capacitors have the same voltage. What about the charge ? Step2: disconnecting does not change either of these two. In step 3 one of the two is flipped. No change except for the signs. You may want to add the signs to the picture. Perhaps now I can repeat my question: what will remain constant and what will even out ? (compare 4 and 1) Your belief does not hold up: imagine the smaller capacitor has almost zero capacity: it can never hold half the charge. [ATTACH=full]106473[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
