Question

True or False (1-7)

When two capacitors are in connected parallel, the will have the same voltage difference. And the total charges stored will be the sum of the charged stored in each capacitor. C_eq =Q_total/Delta V = (Q_1 + Q_1)/Delta V, hence the total capacitance is the sum of C_1 & C_2. When two capacitors are in connected series, the will have the same voltage difference. And the total charges stored will be the sum of the charged stored in each capacitor. C_eq =Q_total/Delta V = (Q_1 + Q_1)/Delta V, hence the total capacitance is the sum of C_1 & C_2. When two capacitors are in connected parallel, the must have the same charge, which is also the equivalent total charge. And the total voltage difference will be the sum of the voltage difference across in each capacitor. C_eq =Q/Delta V_total = Q_1(Delta V_1 + Delta V_2), hence the total capacitance can be calculated using the reversed sum of C_1 and C_2. For capacitors in parallel, 1/C_eq = 1/C_1 -1/C_2 When two capacitors are in connected series, the must have the same charge, which is also the equivalent total charge. And the total voltage difference will be the sum of the voltage difference across in each capacitor. C_eq =Q/Delta V_total = Q_1(Delta V_1 + Delta V_2), hence the total capacitance can be calculated using the reversed sum of C_1 and C_2. For capacitors in series, 1/C_eq = 1/Q + 1/C_2 When resistors are in series, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistance. When resistors are in parallel, the reverse of the equivalent resistance, is the sum of the reverse of individual resistance. Capacitors are like resistors when combined. When capacitors are in series, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitance. When capacitors are in parallel, the reverse of the equivalent capacitance, is the sum of the reverse of individual capacitance. Capacitors have opposite properties comparing to resistors when combined. When capacitors are in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitance. When capacitors are in series, the reverse of the equivalent capacitance, is the sum of the reverse of individual capacitance.
