Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Grouping of Capacitor MCQ (Single Correct)

Two capacitors A and B are connected in series with a battery as shown in the figure. When the switch S is closed and the two capacitors get charged fully, then

A
The potential difference across the plates of A is 4V and across the plates of B is 6V
B
The potential difference across the plates of A is 6V and across the plates of B is 4V
C
The ratio of electrical energies stored in A and B is 2 : 3
D
The ratio of charges on A and B is 3 : 2

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

In series combination of capacitors, voltage distributes on them, in the reverse ratio of their capacitance i.e. ......(i)

Also V A + V B = 10 .......(ii)

On solving (i) and (ii) V A = 6V, V B = 4V
