Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.10C and 20C are charges not capacities
Charge on middle piece becomes equally distributed and induced charge changes to match
I think
ok but why
assuming they have different capacities
Is there an external source of voltage across the two capacitors?
no
Are the capacitances given?
ok lets assume they're equal for now
If they're equal, then the charge will flow until the potential drop across each is the same.
Which means until the charge on them is same.
ok and what about the polarities?
Hmm
Good point. The charge on the middle piece has to be conserved.
ok so its something like this but do we take induction of one capacitor on the other here?
assuming both of them are far away
@Opt what do I do now?
Hmm
If capacitance are equal then charge will flow from the 20C wala capacitor
That'll give you the polarity
but why does charge flow
🤔 steady state achive krne keliye?
What's the steady state in this configuration
Looks weird asf
yeah
no flow until and unless u complete the circuit by connecting the two capactiors
Hmmm
ig solving this ques will give u an idea of what i am trying to convey
