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 righthand-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
$C_{\text {eq }}=C_1+C_2$
Here,
$C_1=C_2=C$
$\therefore C_{e q}=2 C$
