Q. Two capacitors of capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ are connected in parallel across a battery. If $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively be the charges on the capacitors, then $Q_1/Q_2$=

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

Potential difference is same for both. That is $Q_1 /C_1 = Q_2/C_2$
Hence $Q_1 / Q_2 = C_1 /C_2$
