Verizon 7:56 PM * 30% s.com Chapter 19 Question 4 MasteringPhysics Part A When two or more different capacitors are connected in parallel across a potential source (battery), which of the following statements must be true? (There could be more than one correct choice.) The capacitor with the largest capacitance has the most charge. The capacitor with the largest capacitance has the largest potential difference across it. Each capacitor carries the same amount of charge. The equivalent capacitance than the capacitance of any one of the c of the combination is less apacitors. The potential difference across each capacitor is the same Submit Re quest Answen Next

Explanation / Answer

In parallel combination potential difference across each capacitor is same.

So from Q=CV, capacitor with largest capacitance has the most charge.

Also in parallel combination, equivalent capacitance

1/C =1/C(1) + 1/C(2) +.....

Therefore equivalent capacitance is less than that of any of the capacitor.

Options 1, 4 & 5 are correct .
