NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

Consider a diagram showing two capacitors, C1 and C2, connected in series with a total potential drop V across the combination. If V1 and V2 are the potential drops across C1 and C2 respectively, which equation correctly represents the potential drop across the series combination?

Question diagram
A

V = V1 + V2

B

V = V1 - V2

C

V = V1 * V2

D

V = V1 / V2

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The potential drop across a series combination of capacitors is the sum of the individual potential drops across each capacitor, as described in the NCERT context.
