    Assertion : Charges are given to plates of two plane parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ (such that $C_2 = 2C_1$ ) as shown in figure. Then the key $K$ is pressed to complete the circuit. Finally the net charge on upper plate and net charge the circuit. Finally the net charge on upper plate and net charge on lower plate of capacitor $C_1$ is positive.

    Reason : In a parallel plate capacitor both plates always carry equal and opposite charge.
