JEE PHYSICS MCQ: ELECTRIC POTENTIAL AND CAPACITANCE

1 Easy

1 of 1

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A) : In series combination, charges on two capacitors are always equal.

Reason (R) : If charges are same, the total potential difference applied across two capacitors will be distributed in inverse ratio of capacities.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Option D (If Assertion is false but the Reason is true) is correct because in a series combination, charges are the same only if initially uncharged, and the potential difference is indeed inversely proportional to capacitance.
