NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about potential difference in capacitors is correct?
The potential difference across a capacitor is directly proportional to the charge stored on its plates.
In a series combination of capacitors, the potential difference is the same across each capacitor.
Inserting a dielectric reduces the potential difference across the plates of a capacitor.
The potential difference is independent of the capacitance of the capacitor.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential difference across a capacitor is directly related to the charge stored on its plates, as indicated by the formula V = Q/C. The other statements are misconceptions about how potential difference behaves in capacitors.
