We connect a battery across the plates, so the plates will attract each other. The upper plate will move down, but only so far, because the electrical attraction between the plates is countered by the tension in

The electric potential is created by the source charges on the capacitor plates and exists whether or not charge q is inside the capacitor. The positive charge is the end view of a positively charged glass rod. A negatively charged particle moves in a circular arc around the glass rod.
The energy Uof a capacitor that has charge Qon it and voltage V across it, is then the sum of such increments. In the limit of innitesimal increments, this sum converts into an integral. By using the denition of capacitance C= Q=V, we can write the expression for potential energy Uin three equivalent ways as shown on the slide.
• A capacitor is a device that stores electric charge and potential energy. The capacitance C of a capacitor is the ratio of the charge stored on the capacitor plates to the the potential difference between them: (parallel) This is equal to the amount of energy stored in the capacitor. The E surface. 0 is the electric field without dielectric.
To find the capacitance C, we first need to know the electric field between the plates. A real capacitor is finite in size. Thus, the electric field lines at the edge of the plates are not straight lines, and the field is not contained entirely between the plates.
This is because the capacitors and potential source are all connected by conducting wires which are assumed to have no electrical resistance (thus no potential drop along the wires). The two capacitors in parallel can be replaced with a single equivalent capacitor. The charge on the equivalent capacitor is the sum of the charges on C1 and C2.
