Two parallel plate capacitors \(8 \mu \mathrm{F}\) each are connected in parallel to a \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) battery. The plate separation in one of the capacitor is reduced to \(40 \%\) of its initial value. The increase in the total charge stored on the capacitors is

  1. A \(80 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(120 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(100 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(\frac{160}{3} \mu \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{160}{3} \mu \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \[ \begin{aligned} C_1 & =C_2=8 \mu \mathrm{F}=8 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~F} \\ V & =10 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned} \] Since, \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are connected in parallel. Equivalent capacitance,…
