Find whether the following statements are true or false.
a. If a battery is connected across a circuit consisting of two identical capacitors, it is found that, in steady state, the two capacitors must be in series with each other.
b. If a battry is connected across a ciruit consisting of two capacitors having differnt capacitances, it is found that, in steady state, the two capacitors has equal charge, then two capacitors must be in seties with each other.
c. If a battery is connected across a circuit cansisting of two identical capacitors, it is found that, in steady state, the two capacitors have equal charge, then the two capacitors may be in series with each other.
