More complex capacitor systems
In general a capacitor system
may consist of smaller capacitor
groups that can be identified as
connected "in parallel" or
"in series"
In the example of the figure C1 and C2 in fig.a are connected in parallel.
They can be substituted by the equivalent capacitor C12  C1  C2 as
shown in fig.b. Capacitors C12 and C3 in fig.b are connected in series.
They can be substituted by a single capacitor C123 as shown in fig.c
C123 is given by the equation:

• Series combinations reduce the capacitance.
Equal C reduce by the number involved.
• In parallel the capacitance increases.

All C’s are 8.00 nF. The battery is 12 V.
What is the equivalent capacitance?
C12 = 4 nF
C123 = 12 nF
Q123 = C123 x V = 144 nC
Q3 = C3 x V = 96 nC
Q12 = C12 x V = 48 nC
U123 = ½ C123V2 = ½ x 12x10-9 x122 = 864 nJ
U1 = ½ C1V12 = ½ x 8x10-9 x62 = 144 nJ = U2
U3 = ½ x 8x10-9 x122 = 576 nF
C3 stores most energy, also the highest electric field
and most charge, the most stressed part of the circuit.
Circuits
• All capacitors being the same, rank the
equivalent capacitances of the four circuits.
C1 = C3 = 8.00 μF, C2 = C4 = 6.00 μF, V = 12V

through point P

In 1837 Michael Faraday investigated what happens to the
V
capacitance C of a capacitor when the gap between the plates
is completely filled with an insulator (a.k.a. dielectric)
Faraday discovered that the new capacitance is given by :

C   Cair Here Cair is the capacitance before the insertion
of the dielectric between the plates. The factor  is known
as the dielectric constant of the material.
Faraday's experiment can be carried out in two ways:

With the battery connected, since x is increasing downwards, a negative force is upwards,
pushing the dielectric away.
With the battery disconnected, the force is positive and pointed downwards, pulling in the
dielectric.
The force is proportional to (κ-1) and inversely to L.
