When capacitors are connected in series, similar but opposite charges appear on every adjacent plate. How and why this happens ? Suppose charge appeared on plate A is Q Q and then charge on plate F will be −Q − Q , as of now everything is ok but now they say charge on plate B will also be −Q − Q and so on. How can one confirm this?!
When we put charge ±Q on the two capacitors both conductors. Since the electric field inside this is the only way the charge can be distributed. σ Q = so the potential difference ε0 Aε0 between the two conductors will be V = Qs Q Aε0 E s = . Therefore C = = . plate.
The surface potential characterises the nature of the charge at the oxide silicon interface. Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with gap equal to the depletion layer width and dielectric constant for silicon. For the total capacitance C we must add these two capacitances in parallel, ie. ie. This is the maximum capacitance.
Since the dielectric is everywhere outside of the capacitor where there was an electric field and is uniform, we get the simple result that electric field gets reduced by 1/κ (e.g., Jackson 1975, p. 146). Since this is a scaling down by a common factor, the charge distribution should not change (i.e., have charge flows).
