Question

9. Three different capacitors are connected in series. Then:
(A) they will have equal charge
(B) they will have same potential
Les both 1 & 2
(D) none of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

(A)

Explanation:

C = Q/V

series connection splits the battery potential, hence....

V = V1 + V2

V1 = Q/C1 & V2 = Q/C2

therefore....both have equal charge

Answer 2

Answer :

When capacitors are connected in series they will have an equal charge (Q). so correct option is (A) they will have equal charge.

Explanation:

The charge is equal in the series combination of three capacitors as when capacitors are connected in series voltage breaks into separate contributions also current value remain same in series combination  So if the current is the same in the series-combination then a charge will also be the same in these capacitors.

As current is given by charge per unit time so for the same current charge is same. I=Q/t
