-  - ...+  - **What stays the same?** In **series** all capacitors carry the **same charge** $Q$; in **parallel** all capacitors see the **same voltage** $U$. 
 +  - **How do totals form?** Capacitances **add inversely** in series and **add directly** in parallelThis mirrors resistors but with the roles swapped. 
 +  - **Voltage/charge sharing:** In series, the **smaller** $C_k$ takes the **larger** $U_k$ ($U_k=Q/C_k$). In parallel, the **larger** $C_k$ takes the **larger** $Q_k$ ($Q_k=C_k U$). 
 +  - **Energy viewpoint:** Charging needs work against the field; $W=\tfrac12 C U^2=\tfrac12 Q U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}$. Dimensional check: $[C]=\rm F=\dfrac{A\,s}{V}$, so $[C U^2]=\dfrac{A\,s}{V}\,V^2=A\,s\,V=J$. 
 +  - **Design intuition:** Increasing plate area $A$ or dielectric $\varepsilon_r$ raises $C$ and thus stored $W$ at the same $U$; increasing gap $d$ lowers $C$.

 +==== 13.1.3 Energy in the electric Field ====
  
-===== Common pitfalls ===== +Now we want to see how much energy is stored in a capacitor during charging. 
-  * ...+When we want to charge a capacior charges have be separated (see <imgref ImgNr616>). This gets more and more difficult as more charges were moved, since these already moved charges create an electric field. 
 + 
 +<WRAP> 
 +<imgcaption ImgNr616 | summary of electrostatics>

 +{{drawio>electrical_engineering_and_electronics_1:chargingACapacitor.svg}} 
 +</WRAP> 
 + 
 +We already had a first look onto the energy in the electric field in [[https://wiki.mexle.org/electrical_engineering_and_electronics_1/block09#energy_required_to_displace_a_charge_in_the_electric_field|block09]]. \\ 
 +There, we got: 
 + 
 +\begin{align*} 
 +\Delta W &\int    \vec{F} d\vec{r} \\ 
 +         &q  \int \vec{E} d\vec{r} \\ 
 +         &q  \cdot U \\ 
 +dW       &dq \cdot U  
 +\end{align*} 
 + 
 +Now, For a capacitor we include the formula for the capacitor $C {{q}\over{U}}$, or better its rearranged version $U = {{q}\over{C}}$: 
 + 
 +\begin{align*} 
 +     dW &= dq \cdot {{q}\over{C}}  \\ 
 +\int dW &= \int {{q}\over{C}} dq  
 +\end{align*} 
 + 
 +Here we again see, that the needed energy portion $dW$ to move a portion $dq$ is also related to the already moved charges $q$. \\ 
 +To get the energy $Delta W$ needed to move all of the charges $$Q = \int dq$$ we have to integrate from $0$ to $Q$: 
 + 
 +\begin{align*} 
 +\Delta W &= \int_0^Q dW \\  
 +         &= \int_0^Q {{q}\over{C}} dq \\ 
 +         &= {{1}\over{2}}{{Q^2}\over{C}} \\  
 +\end{align*} 
 +\begin{align*} 
 +\boxed{ \Delta W =  {{1}\over{2}}{{Q^2}\over{C}} = {{1}\over{2}}QU = {{1}\over{2}}CQ^2 } 
 +\end{align*}

 +===== 13.2 Common pitfalls ===== 
 +  * Mixing up the rules: writing $C_{\rm eq}=C_1+C_2$ for **series** (wrong) or $\dfrac{1}{C_{\rm eq}}=\dfrac{1}{C_1}+\dfrac{1}{C_2}$ for **parallel** (wrong). 
 +  * Forgetting which quantity is equal: **series $\Rightarrow Q_k=\text{const.}$**, **parallel $\Rightarrow U_k=\text{const.}$**. 
 +  * Applying the **resistive** voltage divider $U_1=\dfrac{R_1}{R_1+R_2}U$ to capacitors. For capacitors in series it inverts: $U_1=\dfrac{C_2}{C_1+C_2}U$. 
 +  * Ignoring **initial charge states**: pre-charged capacitors reconnected will redistribute charge; use charge conservation on isolated nodes before using $Q=C\,U$. 
 +  * Dropping units or mixing forms of energy: always keep $W=\tfrac12 C U^2=\tfrac12 Q U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}$ and check $\rm J$.
