Question

In an adjoining figure three capacitors $C_{1},C_{2}$ and $C_{3}$ are joined to a battery. The correct condition will be:

(Symbols have their usual meanings)

• A. $Q_{1}=Q_{2}=Q_{3}$ and $V_{1}=V_{2}=V_{3}=V$
• B. $Q_{1}=Q_{2}+Q_{3}$ and $V=V_{1}+V_{2}+V_{3}$
• C. $Q_{1}=Q_{2}+Q_{3}$ and $V=V_{1}+V_{2}$
• D. $Q_{2}=Q_{3}$ and $V_{2}=V_{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$V_{2}=V_{3}$
$Q_{1}=Q_{2}+Q_{3}$
$V=V_{1}+V_{2}$
