Important Questions on Capacitance
A capacitor is charged to a potential of and capacitor is charged to . The capacitors are then connected in parallel with plates of opposite polarities join together. What amount of charge will flow, when the plates are so connected?

Two parallel plate capacitors whose capacities are and respectively, are joined in parallel. These are charged by potential difference. If the battery is now removed and a dielectric of dielectric constant is filled in between the plates of the capacitor , then, what will be the potential difference across each capacitor?
