You charge a parallel plate capacitor with a battery, then disconnect the battery. What happens to the charge on the plates? You then connect a wire between the plates; what happens to the charge on the plates?
Homework Answers
When you connect battery from the capacitor then charge on the plates
Q , -Q
then you connect a wire between the plates
so charge on the plates
=Q-Q=0
means capacitor will discharge. (No charge on the plates).

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor so that the magnitude of the potential difference between its plates is 16.0 V. The capacitor is disconnected from the battery (so the amount of charge on each plate cannot change), and a material with a dielectric constant of 3.49 is inserted between the plates. Find the new potential difference between the plates.

You have a parallel plate capacitor with charge q on its plates. A battery, connected to the capacitor, keeps constant the potential difference across the plates. You decide to pull apart the two plates to twice their original distance. Determine the new amount of charge on the plates. A, 2q B, q/2 C, 4q D, q

You have a parallel-plate capacitor connected to a 12V battery. You charge it up such that it holds a certain amount of potential energy. You then replace the 12V battery with a 24V battery. What is one change you could make such that it will store the same amount of potential energy that the 12V battery did? a. increase the separation between the plates by a factor of 2 b. increase the separation between the plates by a factor of...
