Two capacitors C1 and C2 are charged to ...

Two capacitors `C_1` and `C_2` are charged to 120V and 200V respectively. It is found that connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then

A

(a) `5C_1=3C_2`

B

(b) `3C_1=5C_2`

C

(c) `3C_1+5C_2=0`

D

(d) `9C_1=4C_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

For potential to be made zero, after connection
`120C_1=200C_2[:'C=q/v]`
`implies 3C_1=5C_2`
