Two capacitors connected in parallel having the capacities `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` are given 'q' charge, which is distributed among them. The ratio of the charge on `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` will be

A

`(C_(1))/(C_(2))`

B

`(C_(2))/(C_(1))`

C

`C_(1)C_(2)`

D

`(1)/(C_(1)C_(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

In parallel combination `V_(1) = V_(2)`
or `(q_(1))/(C_(1)) = (q_(2))/(C_(2)) rArr (q_(1))/(q_(2)) = (C_(1))/(C_(2))`
