Example
EXAMPLE: Two capacitors are in the circuit
shown. C1 is fully charged at 1.50 V, and C2
is initially uncharged.
(c) When the switch is closed, what will the
charge on C1 be? What charge will C2 have?
SOLUTION: The capacitors are in parallel. Thus
V1 = V2 q1
C1
= q2
C2
Thus q2 = C2
C1

From conservation of charge, q1 + q2 = 4.12510-4 C.
4.12510-4 = q1 + q2 = q1 + C2

= q1 ( 1 + 38275

3.62 10-4 + q2 = 4.12510-4 q2 = 5.01 10-5 C.

PRACTICE: A 1.50-V cell is connected
to a 275 F capacitor in the circuit
shown.
(a) Make a sketch graph of what the
voltmeter reads after the switch is closed.
SOLUTION:
Before the switch is closed the
voltage on the capacitor is zero.
After the switch is closed, the
voltage will increase from zero to 1.50 V in a very short
amount of time as the plates store the charge.
Then the capacitorβs voltage will remain at 1.50 V.

SOLUTION:
Before the switch is closed the
current is zero.
After the switch is closed, the
current will begin at a maximum value and will decrease
rapidly as the plates βfill upβ with charge and repel
further charge.

(c) Make a sketch graph of the charge q

SOLUTION:
Before the switch is closed the
charge is zero.
After the switch is closed, the
charge will rapidly βfill upβ the plates and slow down the
subsequent flow due to repulsion.
Then the charge will reach a maximum value on the
plates, stopping the flow of further charge.

PRACTICE: A 1.50-V cell is connected

Make a sketch graph showing the family
of curves representing the voltage across
the resistor after the switch is closed as RC increases.
SOLUTION:
Because the voltage across
the resistor is proportional to
the current (V = IR), its graph will have the same shape
as I:
Furthermore, the bigger R and
C are, the longer it will take for
the capacitor to charge and the current to stop.
