Five identical plates are connected across a battery as follows : If the charge on plate `1` be `+q`, then the charges on the plates `2, 3, 4` and `5` are

A

`-q, +q, +q`

B

`-2q, +2q, -2q, +q`

C

`-q, +2q, -2q, +q`

D

None of above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Therefore
`q_(2) = -2q, q_(3) =+2q,`
`q_(4) =-2q` and `q_(5) =+q`
