Capacitors C1 = 6.0 F and C2 = 2.0 F are charged as a parallel combination across a 250-V battery. The capacitors are disconnected from the battery and from each other. They are then connected positive plate to negative plate and negative plate to positive plate. Calculate the resulting charge on each capacitor.
In Franklins time, a device for storing electric potential energy was called a Leyden jar. Today, we call that device a capacitor. Another term that is sometimes used is condenser. What ideas do these three terms bring to mind? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
