Initially \(n\) identical capacitors are joined in parallel and are charged to potential \(V\). Now they are separated and joined in series. Then

  1. A Potential difference becomes \(n V\) and energy remains the same.
  2. B potential difference is \(n V\) and energy increases \(n\) times
  3. C potential difference total energy of combination remains same
  4. D potential difference remains the same and the energy increases \(n\) times.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Potential difference becomes \(n V\) and energy remains the same.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Charge will not flow and potential difference across each capacitor will be \(V\). Hence, total potential difference across the series combination will be \(n V\).
Total energy will remain same as charge is not flowing.
