Lab Quiz next week on the concepts covered in labs 3 and 4 Recitation quiz for February 26 or March 1 will cover chapter 25.
Capacitance is a measure of how effective a capacitor is.
The set of parallel plates acts as a capacitor. As the negative charges accumulate at the bottom plate of C2, an equivalent amount of negative charges are driven away from the top plate of C2 to the bottom plate of C1. In general, when capacitors are in parallel, the capacitance increases and when the capacitor are in parallel, the capacitance decreases.
