What happens if a battery is disconnected from a capacitor?
When battery disconnected from capacitor, the charge stored in the capacitor remains the same. The voltage across the capacitor also will remain the same. Q. A capacitor is charged with a battery and then removed from the battery. In this specially designed capacitor, we are able to make the plate size (area) larger without changing anything else.
What happens if you short a capacitor?
The charge won't go anywhere and the capacitor will remain charged until you short the plates of the capacitor. Where there was once a battery terminal there is now an insulator and that stops the electrons. Also, the terminal will be made of metal that has a negligible capacitance so can't store significant amounts of charge.
What does it mean if a capacitor is charged with a battery?
To be sure, what do you mean by "charge"? If a capacitor is charged with a battery, the capacitor is still electrically neutral. The battery has given up some of its stored energy to the capacitor (and some to heat). There is no electrical charge stored in the capacitor, only electrical energy via the separation of charge.
Does a capacitor lose volts?
And there is no net charge taken from the battery. The battery will push electrons from one of the capacitor's plate to the other. Regarding your update: A theoretical perfect capacitor will never lose any volts. A real capacitor will always lose volts because air has some conductance and so does whatever dielectric is used to separate the plates.
Why do capacitors leak if a DC current is not perfect?
The dielectric medium between the plates is not perfect, a DC current will allow the charge to leak between the plates reducing the stored voltage difference to zero over time. The leak (or "insulation resistance") can be an important parameter when selecting capacitors in an electrical application. Also see for example this.
What happens when you pull apart a capacitor plate?
As you pull apart the capacitor plates you increase the amount of space in which the E field is non-zero and hence increase the stored energy. Where does the extra energy come from?
