AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Capacitors MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A capacitor of capacity C₁ charged upto V volt and then connected to an uncharged capacitor C₂. Then final P.D. across each will be :-

A

C₂V / (C₁ + C₂)

B

C₁V / (C₁ + C₂)

C

(¹⁺ C₂/C₁)V

D

(¹⁻ C₂/C₁)V

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

When capacitors are connected, charge is conserved. The final voltage is given by V_final = (C₁V) / (C₁ + C₂).
