Re: [Phys-l] Capacitance problem



You mean Sigma 1/2^n [n=1 => ... ] ?

Hmmm...you compute 0.5 V as the pd across the cap after the first cycle,
and 0.75 V after the second.
You might easily conclude there is a pattern developing!

Boo-boo !

In the last two fiqures, it should read

V1 = 3/4 E, not 3/4 CE

I understand that the original question was not addressed to the first
cycle of operation, - but to the result of numerous cycles.

Does it seem to you that the upper capacitor ends
up with the battery potential across its plates?
