A uncharged capacitor C is connected to a battery with potential V. It becomes fully charged and has a charge Q=CV stored on it.
Now the polarity of the battery is reversed. The capacitor will have the charge Q still but with polarity reversed too.
My question is: What is the work done by the the battery?
According to me, during 1st charging it will do a work of QV. The energy of the capacitor is also not changing, then what is the work done to change its polarity?
