Q. Two identical capacitors are joined in parallel and charged to a potential $V$. Then these are separated and connected in series with the positive plate of one connected to the negative of the other. Then the

AMUAMU 2003

Solution:

The potential of each capacitor is equal to $V$, when they are in parallel. If they are disconnected and joined in series, then the potential will become
$V'=V+V=2 V$
