Assertion: Two capacitors are connected ...

Assertion: Two capacitors are connected in series with a battery. Energy stored across then is in inverse ratio of their capacity.
Reason: `U=1/2qV` or `UpropqV`

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:
B
`U=1/2 q^2/C or Uprop1/C ` as `q` is same in capacitors (if initially they are uncharged)`
