Capacitors in parallel
• The potential difference is the same across each capacitor since they are connected to the same battery
• The total charge is the sum of the charge on each capacitor
• Capacitors in parallel increase capacitance since the total area increases
![Page 32: AP Physics C](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012914/56816842550346895dde15f7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Capacitors in Series
• The magnitude of the charge on each capacitor plate is the same
• The potential drops across each capacitor• Capacitors in series decrease the overall
capacitance since the charge is constant and must be distributed over a greater area
![Page 34: AP Physics C](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012914/56816842550346895dde15f7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Ex. Find the charge stored in and the voltage across each capacitor in the following circuit given ε = 180 V, C1 = 30 μF, C2 = 60 μF and C3 = 90 μF.
![Page 39: AP Physics C](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012914/56816842550346895dde15f7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Ex. In the diagram shown, C1 = 2 mF and C2 = 4 mF. When the switch is open, a battery (not shown) is connected between points a and b and charges capacitor C1 so that Vab = 12 V. The battery is then disconnected. After the switch is closed, and electrostatic conditions are reestablished, what is the potential difference across each capacitor?

Charging a capacitor. When the switch is closed, the capacitor acts as a conducting wire and
the initial current is I = ε/R. But, over time current decreases (transient, not steady state
current) and the voltage on the capacitor opposes the EMF of
the battery.

Ex. In the circuit shown, ε = 20 V, R = 1000 Ω and C = 2.0 mF. If the capacitor is initially uncharged, how long will it take (after the switch is closed) for the capacitor to be 99% charged?
![Page 47: AP Physics C](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012914/56816842550346895dde15f7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Ex. Capacitors C1 and C2 of capacitance C1 = 6 μF and C2 = 24 μF, respectively, are connected in a circuit shown with a resistor of resistance R = 20 Ohms and a two switches. Capacitor 1 is initially charged to a potential difference of V0 = 30 V and capacitor 2 is initially uncharged. Both of the switches are then closed simultaneously. A) What is the current in R immediately after the switches are closed? B) What are the final charges on each capacitor plate after equilibrium has been reached?
