The two circuits shown in Figure 20.66 have different capacitors but the same batteries and thin-filament bulbs. The
capacitors in circuit 1 and circuit 2 are identical except that the capacitor in circuit 2 was constructed with its plates closer
together. Both capacitors have air between their plates. The capacitors are initially uncharged. In each circuit the batteries
are connected for a time that is short compared to the time required to reach equilibrium, and then they are disconnected.
In which circuit (1 or 2) does the capacitor now have more charge? Explain your reasoning in detail.
