You know, I was also puzzled by the very same question when I was presented with the fact that there is an energy loss in going from a single charged capacitor configuration to a configuration where the the same change is distributed among two capacitors. The basic fact is that if you assume that (1) charge is conserved and (2) the voltages

Customer ServiceDiscuss the energy balance during the charging of a capacitor by a battery in a series R-C circuit. Comment on the limit of zero resistance.1. where the current I is related to the charge Q on the capacitor plates by I = dQ/dt ̇Q. The time derivative of eq. (1) is, supposing that the current starts to flow at time t = 0.
Customer Service$begingroup$ Part of the intuitive part that goes into setting up the integral is that getting the first element of charge dq onto the capacitor plates takes much less work because most of the battery voltage is dropping across the resistance R and only a tiny energy dU = dqV is stored on the capacitor. Proceeding with the integral, which takes a quadratic form in q, gives
Customer ServiceOn halving the capacitance at constant voltage, we lost half the original charge Q. This ½ Q goes into the battery against the voltage V, so the battery is recharged with restored energy ½ QV.
Customer ServiceCharging the capacitor by using potential energy source or voltage source through a frictional media such as the electrical resistor will cause losing the electrical energy into friction,...
Customer ServiceAs the capacitance of the contacts at a initial distance can not be zero and as the distance must reach zero to close the contact, the capacity of this capacitor reached infinity and all the energy stored in this capacitor will be dissipated. as this charged capacitor stores energy and a short circuit will not be consistant with this condition.
Customer ServiceOn halving the capacitance at constant voltage, we lost half the original charge Q. This ½ Q goes into the battery against the voltage V, so the battery is recharged with restored energy ½ QV. Only half that energy pumped into the battery comes from energy stores in
Customer ServiceWhen the capacitor reaches full charge, the inductor resists a reduction in current. It generates an EMF that keeps the current flowing. The energy for this comes from the inductor''s magnetic field. Capacitors and inductors store energy. Only resistance is disipative.
Customer ServiceA: If you touch a charged capacitor, you might receive an electric shock, as the stored energy in the capacitor can discharge through your body. The severity of the shock depends on the capacitance, voltage, and

Customer ServiceThe important result is that the energy lost is independent of resistance values has interesting consequences for capacitor choices and batteries in parallel switching diodes and semiconductors and many applications.
Customer ServiceThat''s essentially correct. No matter what the series resistance, the energy lost is (1/2)CV^2. A current source can be used to charge a capacitor efficiently. However, if the resistor is disconnected, the capacitor will start to lose energy and it will take more time to charge it back up than it would with a current source.
Customer ServiceSuppose a capacitor having capacitance $C$ is being charged using a cell of emf $E$. By the time the capacitor is fully charged, the cell has supplied $QV$ energy while the potential energy of the capacitor is $QV/2$. So there is a net loss of $QV/2$ joules of energy. Where is the energy lost? Since it is an ideal circuit, there is no

Customer ServiceIt is shown that the energy loss in the process of charging and discharging may amount to a large fraction of the total stored energy in the capacitor and this may give rise to a significant amount of heating.

Customer Service0 parallelplate Q A C |V| d ε == ∆ (5.2.4) Note that C depends only on the geometric factors A and d.The capacitance C increases linearly with the area A since for a given potential difference ∆V, a bigger plate can hold more charge. On the other hand, C is inversely proportional to d, the distance of separation because the smaller the value of d, the smaller the potential difference
Customer ServiceThe energy stored in the two capacitors is less than the energy that was originally stored in (text{C}_1). What has happened to the lost energy? A perfectly reasonable and not incorrect answer is that it has been dissipated as heat in the connecting wires as current flowed from one capacitor to the other. However, it has been found in low temperature physics that if you

Customer ServiceConsider a 1 μF capacitor charged to 1 volt and then connected to a discharged 1 μF capacitor. Charge (C·V) is conserved hence, the final voltage is 0.5 volts. For energy there is loss: - Initial energy: ½ × 1 μF × (1 volt)² = 500 nJ; Final energy: ½ × 2 μF × (0.5 volts)² = 250 nJ
Customer ServiceAfter factoring in all that loss, the true capacitor must still be presented with double the energy it is going to store. It is an intrinsic property of the capacitor itself that would exist in an ideal circuit element capacitor. Meaning if all non ideal circuit elements were eliminated, the capacitor itself would still "destroy" half the
Customer ServiceBy the time the capacitor is fully charged, the cell has supplied QV Q V energy while the potential energy of the capacitor is QV/2 Q V / 2. So there is a net loss of QV/2 Q V / 2 joules of energy. Where is the energy lost? Since it is an ideal circuit, there is no resistance and there should be no heat loss.
Summary of the answer: We can say that the energy of the capacitor is lower because most of the time, the voltage of the capacitor is lower than the battery (so, the upper left part of the graph is missing in the case of the Capacitor which is present in the Battery).
Even an ideal capacitor cannot be losslessly charged to a potential E from a potential E without using a voltage "converter" which accepts energy at Vin and delivers it to the capacitor at Vcap_current.
If the battery were not connected to a capacitor, the work the chemical battery does on the charges (and therefore the electric potential energy it creates) would follow the formula U = 1 2QV as it builds up voltage. When the battery is connected to a capacitor, the same concept applies.
But half of that energy is dissipated in heat in the resistance of the charging pathway, and only QV b /2 is finally stored on the capacitor at equilibrium. The counter-intuitive part starts when you say "That's too much loss to tolerate. I'm just going to lower the resistance of the charging pathway so I will get more energy on the capacitor."
The final voltage of the capacitor is equal to the voltage of the battery, V. 1 2(Q − 0)(V − 0) = 1 2QV And, it is U. Because, ∫Q0VdQ = U (now you can look at the first 2 lines if you don't understand why it is equal to the Area). Thus, U = 1 2QV Now, let us discuss the battery.
