    Why's Potential Difference Different in Series Capacitors?

    My book says "the magnitude of charge on all plates in a series connection is the same." It then says "potential differences of the individual capacitors are not the same unless their individual capacitances are the same." If the plates were all the same size, given that they all have equal...

    Why electric field between two plates ##\frac {σ} {ε_0}## ?

    When using two plates, they are normally placed very close to each other. The distance of separation is extremely small compared to the size of the plates. This is essentially the concept of an "infinite sheet." An infinite sheet is an infinitely large, charged sheet. Technically, the electric...

    Nonreflective Coating and Emission Relation?

    Thank you for the response, but I'm still having trouble understanding how this situation is different than one with a reflective coating. Would the overall flow of the waves still not be the same? If we're talking about a single wave front and nonreflective coating- the first part of the wave...

    Nonreflective Coating and Emission Relation?

    Hi all, I've been able to find the answers to most of my questions in these forums, but this time I was not able to. So here goes my first post: I've been learning about thin film interference, and it all makes sense to me except for the correlation between destructive interference caused by...
