AIPMT PRELIMS 2005 Physics Capacitors MCQ Question
A network of four capacitors of capacity equal to C₁ = C, C₂ = 2C, C₃ = 3C and C₄ = 4C are connected to a battery as shown in the figure. The ratio of the charges on C₂ and C₄ is:

22/3
3/22
7/22
22/7
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The capacitors are connected in a combination of series and parallel. The charge on capacitors in series is the same, and the potential difference across C₂ and C₄ can be used to find the ratio of charges.
