MCQ
If the capacitors in the previous question are joined in parallel, the capacitance and the breakdown voltage of the combination will be:
  • A
    $2C$ and $2V$
  • B
    $C$ and $2V$
  • $2C$ and $V$
  • D
    $C$ and $V$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2C$ and $V$
In a parallel combination of capacitors, the potential difference across the capacitors remain the same,
as the right$-$hand$-$side plates and the left$-$hand$-$side plates of both the capacitors are connected to the same terminals of the battery.
Therefore, the potential remains the same, that is, $V.$
For the parallel combination of capacitors, the capacitance is given by
$C_{eq} = C_1 + C_2$
Here,
$C_1 = C_2 = C$
$\therefore C_{eq} = 2C$
