Figure shows charge (q) versus voltage (...

Figure shows charge (q) versus voltage (V) graph for series and parallel combination to two given capacitors. The capacitances are:

A

`20 mu F` and `30 mu F`

B

`40 muF` and `10 muF`

C

`60 muF` and `30 muF`

D

`50 muF` and `30 mu F`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For series combination
`(C_(1)C_(2))/(C_(1)+C_(2)) =C_(eq) =80/10 =8`……..(1)
For parallel combination
`C_(1) + C_(2) =C_(eq) =500/10 =50`………..(2)
Solving (1) & (2)
`C_(1) = 40 muF`
`C_(2) = 10 muF`
