When a battery is connected with a capacitor the potential difference will?
Charge the capacitor. Potential difference is a scientific term for what is more commonly called voltage. ANSWER: If big enough the battery will see a short initially and then proceed to charge the capacitor at a rate of 63% of the voltage in one time constant defined as RC For engineering purposes after 5 time the time constant the battery will and the capacitor zero potential different. The proper term should be virtual no difference.
Use second order differential equation to solve RCL series circuit?
we use charge stored in the capacitor as our variable (remember it one of the three variable). so the potential difference across the capacitor is --charge stored in the capacitor at that instance/capacitance of the capacitor. potential difference across resistor is --resistance* differential of charge with respect to time. potential difference across inductor is -- inductance*double difference of charge with respect to the time. If there is no voltage source attached with the network then sum of the total potential difference is equal to zero hence your solution.........L*d^2(q)/dt^2 + R*d(q)/dt + q/c =0
What is an importance of capacitance?
capacitor is a device to store charge .it is based on the concept that when the potential of the capacitor is decreased it can gain some more charge so Q = CV where V is potential and Q is the charge stored then C is the capacitance. capacitance is the ability of the capacitor to store charge. expression for capacitance is C=ɛA/d where ɛis permittivity and A is area of capacitor plates ,d is plate separation.
How can works capacitors?
When connected to a d.c. supply, electrons are transferred from one plate and deposited on the opposite plate. This creates a potential difference across the two plates. This action continues until the capacitor's potential difference is equal (but opposite) to the potential difference of the d.c. source. If the source is then removed, the electrons cannot return to the original plate, other than through the dielectric, so the capacitor will hold that potential difference. By definition, the charge 'stored' on the capacitor is the amount of negative charge on the negative plate (not the sum of the charges on the two plates). Leakage current through the dielectric gradually reduces the potential difference across the plates.
If a 0.40-uF capacitor is connected to a 9.0-V battery how much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?
The units of capacitance are called farads. A one farad capacitor is a capacitor with 1 volt potential difference with 1 coulomb of charge on the capacitor, C = Q/V or Q=CV So the charge held on your capacitor is Q = CV = 9Volts * 0.40*10-6Farads=3.6*10-6 Coulombs

The difference between charge and current?
Charge is potential, current is flowing.
What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?
A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad

Difference in a charge between two electrodes in a cell causes a ----between electrodes?
Potential difference.
Why capacitor is connected to earth in circuit?
when a capacitor is connected to earth the potential of capacitor becomes zero. as a result all the charge residing on the conductors of a capacitor passes away and the final charge on capacitor becomes zero

What is the difference between capacitor and conductor?
A conductor is a material that possesses free charge carriers capable of transferring an electrical charge. A capacitor is a discrete device in which two conducting plates sandwich an electrolytic wafer. The purpose of a capacitor is to store a charge for a finite amount of time.
What happens to charge and potential difference and capacitance in the presence of dielectric when the battery is disconnected from the capacitors?
The capacitor will hold the charge, until it leaks off due to resistances in the dielectric or external.
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when?
Charge buildup between the plates of a capacitor stops when the current flow through the capacitor goes to zero.
