Capaciors Flashcards
Remember what happens in a capacitor in general
Initially current goes to capacitor where accumulated electrons and induced a charge, thus producing a charge. This charge produces a current thst opposes the original current and thus a potential difference made too
When the currents cancel each other out, the capacitor is finally fully charge and had the same pd across it as INITAL emf
Now if connected to another the charge cannot go anywhere, but if connected to a component then potential difference and circuit made
Remember total charge across a circuit series
Total charged in series is same as current same
But in parallel which is what it was in this case is split q1 and q2
If you then equate previous charge to new, you know that at any voltage you can find the charges which must = previous, rearraneg
