Q
Q: If a capacitor is charged and then short-circuited, what happens to the charge on the capacitor?
Solution:
When a charged capacitor is short-circuited, the charge flows through the circuit, and the charge on the capacitor becomes zero.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a capacitor stores electrical charge.
Step 2: When the capacitor is charged, it has a certain amount of stored charge.
Step 3: A short circuit means that there is a direct connection that allows electricity to flow freely.
Step 4: When the charged capacitor is short-circuited, the stored charge starts to flow out of the capacitor.
Step 5: This flow of charge continues until all the charge has left the capacitor.
Step 6: After the charge has flowed out, the capacitor has no charge left, which means its charge becomes zero.
