Question

Two capacitors having capacities C1 and C2 are connected in a parallel. If charge "Q" is given to the combination, then this charge gets shared. What will be the ratio of the charge on capacitor C1 to the charge on capacitor C2?

Answer 1

the ratio of charge on capacity c1 and c2 is unit ratio.

Answer 2

The ratio of the charge on given capacitors will be - Q1/Q2

•For parallel plate capacitors, the charge on plates is calculated by the formula -

Q = CV

•In the formula, Q represents charge, c refers to capacitance and V refers to voltage.

•Given in the question, two capacitors of different capacitance C1 and C2 are parallelly connected, hence according to formula -

Q1/Q2 = C1/C2

Hence, the ratio of the charge on the two capacitors will be Q1/Q2
