NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Which of the following statements regarding potential difference is correct?
The potential difference is the same across capacitors in series.
The total potential drop across a series combination is the sum of individual potential drops.
A potential difference can exist even without a charge flow.
The potential difference is only relevant for parallel circuits.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The total potential drop V across the combination of capacitors in series is indeed the sum of the potential drops across each capacitor, as indicated by the formula V = V1 + V2.
