There are two capacitors with ca bigger than cb and they areconnected in series

Question

There are two capacitors with ca bigger than cb and they areconnected in series with a battery; a. There is more charge stored in cb. b. There is the same potebtial difference between eachcapacitor c. There is more charge stored in ca d. There is the same charged stored in each capacitor There are two capacitors with ca bigger than cb and they areconnected in series with a battery; a. There is more charge stored in cb. b. There is the same potebtial difference between eachcapacitor c. There is more charge stored in ca d. There is the same charged stored in each capacitor

Explanation / Answer

Solution(a): False - whenever capacitors are connected in series,they store the same amount of charge Solution (b): False - whenever capacitors are connected in series,each capacitor has a different potential difference (i..e voltage)across it. Only when capacitors are connected in parallel do theyhave the same potential difference Solution (c): False - referring back to solution (a), capacitorsconnected in series store the same amount of charge Solution (d): True - capacitors connected in series store the sameamount of charge, but this is not the case when they are connectedin parallel
