Physics - E&M: Ch 39.2 Capacitors & Capacitance Understood (9 of 27) Test Your Understanding

In this video I will explain basics of capacitors by finding the work needed, W=? to move the distance between the capacitor plates from d to 2d.

Next video in this series can be seen at:

Thank you Michel for your videos we are really benefiting from them

Hi Professor, you are a great professor and you explain really clear. I have a question about one of the lectures: microstates and macrostates. If you have a container divided into 2, and you have 6 molecules starting on the left and then, the molecules are allowed to move freely. Will the equilibrium macrostate be the same if the particles are distinguishable or indistinguishable? Will the final macrostate still be 6!/(3!3!)? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

We could've also done that by writing V=Ed in the energy equation 🤔 for a easier calculation.

It's great... professor where are you working???

If the work done equals the negative of the change in the potential energy, why dont we take W=E0-Ef instead of W=Ef-E0?

Sir, E=v/d, right ?so why d increase the E remain unchange?
