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, +q`

B

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

C

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

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As plates are identical.
Charge on plate 5 is +q
Charge on plate 3 is +2q = +q +q.
Charge on plate 2 is -2q = -q - q.
Charge on plate is -2q = -q -q.
