JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

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

  1. A \(9C_1=4C_2\)
  2. B \(5C_1=3C_2\)
  3. C \(3C_1=5C_2\)
  4. D \(3C_1+5C_2=0\)
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 \(120 \mathrm{C}_{1}=200 \mathrm{C}_{2} \quad\left[\because C=\frac{q}{v}\right]\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 3 C_{1}=5 C_{2}\)
