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 change 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 `V_(p)=Q/C_(p)=Q/(C_(1)+C_(2))`
`Q_(1)/Q_(2)=(C_(1)V)/(C_(2)V)=C_(1)/C_(2)`
