When a capacitor is disconnected from the power supply, it retains the charge that was stored in it. This happens because there is no conductive path for the charge to dissipate.

A capacitor discharges when disconnected from a power source because the stored energy in the electric field between its plates is released. This happens as the
AI Customer ServiceIf the capacitor has a voltage across its plates and the supply is disconnected, the charge remains irrespective of the distance so, if distance increases (and capacitance falls)
AI Customer ServiceStatement 1: A parallel plate capacitor is charged by a battery of voltage V. The battery is then disconnected. If the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric, the energy stored in the
AI Customer ServiceThe question remains, "What happens between the time the circuit is powered up and when it reaches steady-state?" This is known as the transient response. Consider the
AI Customer ServiceWhen battery disconnected from capacitor, the charge stored in the capacitor remains the same. The voltage across the capacitor also will remain the same. Suggest Corrections. 4. If the
AI Customer ServiceThe capacitor is initially uncharged. When the switch is moved to position (1), electrons move from the negative terminal of the supply to the lower plate of the capacitor.
AI Customer ServiceThe charge on a capacitor remains constant when the battery is disconnected because the circuit is incomplete, preventing any current flow. The separation of charges across the capacitor
AI Customer ServiceThe separation of charges across the capacitor plates creates an electric field that maintains the stored charge. Without a path for electrons to travel, the charges cannot recombine, so the
AI Customer ServiceThe rate at which a capacitor can be charged or discharged depends on: (a) the capacitance of the capacitor) and (b) the resistance of the circuit through which it is being charged or is
AI Customer ServiceIt''s meant to be implied that the capacitor is disconnected from all external circuits. Therefore there''s nowhere for the charge to go. And since charge is a conserved
AI Customer ServiceSeveral capacitors can be connected together to be used in a variety of applications. Multiple connections of capacitors behave as a single equivalent capacitor. When a charge Q in a
AI Customer ServiceOne of these is charged to a potential difference of 125 volts and disconnected from the charging circuit. The charged capacitor is then connected in parallel with the uncharged capacitor. What
AI Customer ServiceThe capacitor remains neutral overall, but with charges (+Q) and (-Q) residing on opposite plates. Figure (PageIndex{1}): Both capacitors shown here were initially
AI Customer ServiceFor discharging, the presence of a dielectric means the capacitor retains its charge longer, due to the increased capacitance. However, the dielectric does not directly affect the resistance in the

AI Customer Servicewhy does charge stored in capacitor remain constant. Because you disconnected the voltage source. It''s meant to be implied that the capacitor is disconnected
AI Customer ServiceCapacitance and energy stored in a capacitor can be calculated or determined from a graph of charge against potential. Charge and discharge voltage and current graphs for capacitors.
AI Customer ServiceIn my understanding, theoretically, when an uncharged capacitor is connected directly to a battery of, let''s say, 9 volts, instantly the capacitor will be charged and its voltage

AI Customer ServiceThe rate at which a capacitor can be charged or discharged depends on: (a) the capacitance of the capacitor) and (b) the resistance of the circuit through which it is being charged or is discharging. This fact makes the capacitor a very useful
AI Customer ServiceThe capacitor remains neutral overall, but with charges (+Q) and (-Q) residing on opposite plates. Figure (PageIndex{1}): Both capacitors shown here were initially uncharged before being connected to a battery.
AI Customer Servicewhy does charge stored in capacitor remain constant. Because you disconnected the voltage source. It's meant to be implied that the capacitor is disconnected from all external circuits. Therefore there's nowhere for the charge to go. And since charge is a conserved quantity, that means the charge on the capacitor plate must remain constant.
When the bottom connection is made, the bottom plates of both capacitors are connected, and depending on the initial states (charge bias) of the two capacitors, charge could be transferred. For example, the uncharged capacitor could have have any charge on both plates, as long as the charges were equal.
As charge flows from one plate to the other through the resistor the charge is neutralised and so the current falls and the rate of decrease of potential difference also falls. Eventually the charge on the plates is zero and the current and potential difference are also zero - the capacitor is fully discharged.
Therefore there's nowhere for the charge to go. And since charge is a conserved quantity, that means the charge on the capacitor plate must remain constant. The surface charge density decreases due to polarisation of dielectric and so the net charge on the plates should decrease yet we are considering charge to be constant.
I understand that when the separation between the plates of a charged capacitor is increased, the voltage increases. But I'd really like to know what happens to the plates if the capacitor is fully charged , disconnected from the charging circuit and then the plates are moved apart from each other by an infinite distance.
What happens when plates of a fully charged capacitor are isolated from each other? I'm a mechanical engineering student and I'm working on a project that involves a high voltage capacitor. I understand that when the separation between the plates of a charged capacitor is increased, the voltage increases.
