D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Let two capacitors be connected is series. If +q charge is installed on left plate of the first capacitor then -q charge is induced on right plate of this capacitor . This charge comes form electron draw form the left plate of second capacitor . Thus there will be equal charge +q on the left plate of second capacitor and -q charge induced on the right plate of second capacitor. Thus each capacitor has same charge (q) when connected in series. Capacitance is quantity dependent on construction of capactior and independent of charge.
