NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Consider a series combination of two capacitors C1 and C2, where C1 has a charge of -Q and the left plate of C2 has a charge Q. Which of the following is true about the potential difference across this series combination?
The potential difference is the sum of the individual potential drops across C1 and C2.
The potential difference is the average of the individual potential drops across C1 and C2.
The potential difference is the difference between the individual potential drops across C1 and C2.
The potential difference is the product of the individual potential drops across C1 and C2.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the potential drop V across the combination is the sum of the potential drops V1 and V2 across C1 and C2, respectively.
