Two condensers `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` in a circuit are jhioned as shown in . The potential fo point `A` is ` V_1` and that of `B` is ` V_2` . The potential of point `D` will be `

A

`1/2(V_(1)+V_(2))`

B

`(C_(1)V_(2)+C_(2)V_(1))/(C_(1)+C_(2))`

C

`(C_(1)V_(1)+C_(2)V_(2))/(C_(1)+C_(2))`

D

`(C_(2)V_(1)-C_(1)V_(2))/(C_(1)+C_(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`V_(1)-V_(2)` will divided between `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` in series. Potential difference aross `C_(1)` is
`V_(1)-V_(D)=(C_(1)(V_(1)-V_(2)))/(C_(1)+C_(2))`
or `V_(D)=(C_(1)V_(1)+C_(2)V_(q2))/(C_(1)+C_(2))`.
