Question
Consider two capacitors with unequal capacitance connected in parallel to a battery. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply.
1.The equivalent capacitance of the combination is less than the capacitance of either of the capacitors.
2.The algebraic sum of the voltages across the two capacitors is equal to the voltage supplied by the battery.
3.The equivalent capacitance of the combination is greater than the capacitance of either of the capacitors.
4.The charge stored on each of the capacitors is the same.
5.The voltage across each of the capacitors is the same. The sum of the charge stored on each capacitor is equal to the charge supplied by the battery.
Explanation / Answer
here,
option 1 is False
option 2 is false voltage remain same when they are in parallel
when capacitors are connected in parallel, this will add their capacitance together.
option 3 is correct
option 4 is false charge increase due to inc in capacitance
option 5 false, voltage remain same but stored charge increases due to inc in capacitance
