| - | ==== Summary on the Electric Field ==== | + | ===== 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 $\Rightarrow Q_k=\text{const.}$**, | ||
| + | * 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 $\rm J$. | ||
