Two identical capacitors are joined in parallel, charged to a potential V and then separated and connected in series, i.e., negative plate of first is connected to positive plate of second :

  1. A the charges on the plates connected together are destroyed
  2. B the charges on the free plates are decreased
  3. C the potential difference between the free plates become 2 V
  4. D the potential differences between the free plates becomes 4 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the potential difference between the free plates become 2 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Q = CV\) \(V_{total} = V_1 + V_2\) \(V_{total} = V + V = 2V\)
