NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
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?

V = V1 + V2
V = V1 - V2
V = V1 * V2
V = V1 / V2
Correct Answer
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.
