In the circuit shown initially `C_(1),C_(2)` are uncharged. After closing the switch

A

The charge on `C_(2)` is greater that on `C_(1)`

B

The charge on `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` are the same

C

The potential drops across `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` are the same

D

The potential drops across `C_(2)` is greater than that across `C_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(B) charge on `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` are same
`V_(2) = (q)/(8) & V_(1) = (q)/(4)` so `V_(1) gt V_(2)`
