For a given potential difference V how would you connect two capacitors, to obtain greater stored charge :

A

series

B

parallel

C

series and parallel combined

D

cannot say

Medium

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is B)

Since $q = C V$ & capacitance of two capacitor is more in parallel combination as compared to series combinations i.e., $C_{P} > C_{S}$ .

Two capacitors, $C_{1} = 2 μ F$ and $C_{2} = 8 μ F$ are connected in series across a $300 V$ source. Then

A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential difference V from a cell and then disconnected from it. A charge + Q is now given to its positive plate. The potential difference across the capacitor is now :

Two capacitors of capacitance $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ are connected in parallel across a battery. If $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{2}$ respectively be the charges on the capacitors, then $\frac{Q _{1}}{Q _{2}}$ will be equal to :

A capacitor of capacity $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ and another capacitor of capacity $2 C$ is charged to a potential difference $4 V .$ The charging batteries are disconnected and the two capacitors are connected with reverse polarity (i.e., positive plate of first capacitor is connected to negative plate of second capacitor). The heat produced during the redistribution of charge between the capacitors will be :

A capacitor $C_{1}$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ . The charging battery is then removed and the capacitor is connected to an uncharged capacitor $C_{2}$ . The potential difference across the combination is
