I'm confused by this question, can someone help and explaintheir reasoning for their answer, thanks!
A battery is used to charge a parallel combination of twoidentical capacitors. If the potential difference across the battery terminals is V and thetotal charge Q flows through the battery during the charging process then the charge on thepositive plate of each capacitor and the potential difference across each capacitorare:
A) Q/2 and V/2, respectively B) Q and V, respectively C) Q/2 and V, respectively D) Q and V/2, respectively E) Q and 2V, respectively I'm confused by this question, can someone help and explaintheir reasoning for their answer, thanks!

Explanation / Answer

When the capacitors are in parallel combination bothcontains same potential so the charge get distrubuted equally then (C) Q/2 and V respectively.
