Two capacitros are fully charged by a battery as shown in the figure.

If the capacitors are disconnected from battery and plate 1 is connected to plate 4 & plate 2 to plate 3, then find the potential difference (in volts) across capacitors finally.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3.33
Charge initially on capacitor `1=10muC`
Charge initially on capacitor `2=20muC`
Finally the potential difference across both capacitor will be equal. Let us assume that to be V.
`1V+2V=+10`
`V=10//3=3.33V`
