Q5

When two capacitors C_1 and C_2 (not equal) are connected in parallel, and the combination to a voltage source. V. The equivalent capacitance C_eq is less than either C_1 or C_2. The equivalent capacitance C_eq is greater than either C_1 or C_2. The charge stored on each capacitor is the same. The potential drop across the larger capacitor is greater than the potential drop across the smaller capacitor. The potential drop across the larger capacitor is smaller than the potential drop across the smaller capacitor.

Explanation / Answer

option B is correct

equivalent capacitance of parallel combination = C1+C2

and potential across each capacitor will be same when capacitor is connected in parallel and charge stored in capacitor will upon the capacitance of the capacitor in parallel combination.
