Question

Given a battery, how would you connect 2 capacitor, in the series or in parallel for them to store the greater (a) total charge (b) total energy

Answer 1

Answer:

Series capacitance is given by Cp = C1+C2

Parallel capacitance is give by 1/Cs = 1/C1+C2

•°• Cp > Cs as seen from above equations ----> (1)

i.) Total in the capacitor is given by Q=CV

•°• From (1), parallel combination is required for storing greater charge.

ii.) Total energy stored in the capacitor is given by U=1/2 CV^2

•°• From (1), parallel combination of capacitors is required for storing greater energy.
