Which of the following statement is NOT true, when two capacitors charged to different potential are connected in parallel by a conducting wire ?
- A Some energy is lost
- B The charge lost by one is equal to the charge gained by the other
- C Both the capacitors acquire a common potential
- D The potential lost by one is equal to the potential gained by the other
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) The potential lost by one is equal to the potential gained by the other
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement D is false because potential change depends on capacitance ( \(V =Q / C)\). While the charge lost by one equals the charge gained by the other, capacitors of different sizes will undergo different voltage shifts to reach their common potential.

Amines are classified as primary \(\left(1^{\circ}\right)\), secondary \(\left(2^{\circ}\right)\) and tertiary \(\left(3^{\circ}\right)\) depending upon the number of hydrogen atoms replaced by alkyl or aryl groups in ammonia molecules. Aliphatic amines are a stronger bases due to \(+I\) effect of an alkyl groups. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in primary and secondary amines affects the boiling points of amines. The intermolecular association is more in primary amines than in secondary amines as there are more number of hydrogen atoms available for hydrogen bond formation. Nitro compounds are reduced to amines by passing hydrogen gas in the presence of finely divided nickel, palladium or platinum and also by reduction with metals in an acidic medium. Gabriel synthesis is used for the preparation of primary amines. Primary amines react with nitrous acid to give unstable diazonium-salts which can be used to synthesize a variety of compounds.
