Question

how will you connect two capacitors across a battery to store greater energy and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

given below

Explanation:

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)

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

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