A capacity of capacity `C_(1)` is charged up to `V` volt and then connected to an uncharged capacitor of capacity `C_(2)`. Then final potential difference across each will be

A

`(C_2V)/(C_1+C_2)`

B

`(1+C_2/C_1)V`

C

`(C_1V)/(C_1+C_2)`

D

`(1-C_2/C_1)V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`V= (C_1V_1+C_2V_2)/(C_1+C_2)=(C_1V_1)/(C_1+C_2) =(C_1V)/(C_1+C_2)`
