Solved Maya wonders why the charges on capacitors connected

"When the battery is connected to capacitors in series, electrons are transferred out of the capacitor plate directly connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and into the capacitor plate directly connected to the negative terminal. The inner capacitor plates are initially neutral, with a net charge of zero.

What happens when we connect a metal wire between the 2 poles of a battery?

Before you connect the wire, the electric field (at least theoretically, this requires that you ignore everything else in the universe, including the contents of the battery) consists of a + charge and a - charge. With a typical car battery these points are separated by about 10 or 20cm.

Can I connect a capacitor to a power source directly?

$begingroup$ The easiest thing is to discharge the cap with a resistor, set the supply output to zero volts (or turn it off) and then connect the capacitor when both are at 0 V. Then you can turn on the supply and hopefully it will come up OK with the capacitor there. Lab supplies generally seem to do fine.

If we charge a capacitor can we discharge it into a battery?

Even if you could charge it this much, it would be pretty bad to connect it to a 1.5-volt battery. To summarize, the charging is only good if the voltage is close to 1.5 volts but capacitors have vastly variable voltage that depends on the stored energy and/or charge dramatically. ...
