Two parallel plate capacitors of capacitance and are connected in parallel and charged to a potential difference by the battery. The battery is then disconnected and the space between the plates of capacitor of capacitance is completely filled with a material of dielectric constant . The potential difference across the capacitors now becomes


Important Questions on Capacitance and Capacitors

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a battery and is charged to a potential difference V. Another capacitor of capacitance 2C is similarly charged to a potential difference 2V. The charging battery is now disconnected and the capacitors are connected in parallel to each other in such a way that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of the configuration is:
