Electrostatics Question 557
Question: A capacitor having capacitance $ C $ is charged to a voltage $ V $ . It is then removed and connected in parallel with another identical capacitor which is uncharged. The new charge on each capacitor is now [MP PET 1990]
Options:
A) CV
B) CV / 2
C) 2 CV
D) CV / 4
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Charge flows to second capacitor until the potential is same i.e. V/2. So new charge = CV/ 2
