You have two identical capacitors and an extermal potential source.
a. Compare the total energy stored in capaciton when they are connected to the applied potential in series and in parallel.
b. Compare the maximum amount of charge stored in each case.
c. Energy storage in a capacitor can be limited by the maximum electric field between the plates. What is the ratio of the electric field for the series for parallel combinations?

A parallel plate vacuum capacitor eith plate area A and separation x has charges +Q and -Q on its plates. The capacitor is disconnected from the source of charge, so the charge on each plate remains fixed. a. What is the total energy stored in the capacitor? b. The plates are pulled apart an additional distance each case. c. If F is the force with which the plates attract each other, the change in the stored energy must equal the work dW =F dx done in pulling the plates apart. Find an expression for F d. Energy storage in a capacitor can be limited by the maximum electric field between the plates. What is the ratio of the electric field for the series for parallel combinations?
