JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - Electric potential and capacitance
  • JEE Mains 2013
  • Medium
  • MCQ

Two capacitors \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are charged to \(120\ V\) and \(200\ V\) respectively. It is found that connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3C_1=5C_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For potential to be made zero, after connection

\(120 \mathrm{C}_{1}=200 \mathrm{C}_{2} \quad\left[\because C=\frac{q}{v}\right]\)

\(\Rightarrow \quad 3 C_{1}=5 C_{2}\)
