Assertion : In series combination, charges on two capacitors are always equal.
Reason : If charges are same, the total potential difference applied across two capacitors will be distributed in inverse ratio of capacities.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Charges are same, if initially the capacitors are uncharged.
Further, `V=q/C`
Hence `Vprop1/C`
if `q` same
