Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B
To match the capacitors in Column-I with their respective statements in Column-II based on their charge and potential differences, we analyze each capacitor:
  • (i) Capacitor 5C in Fig A: In a series connection, all capacitors have the same charge, so there can be no other capacitor with a higher potential difference across it. This matches with statement [A].
  • (ii) Capacitor 1.5C in Fig B: In a parallel connection, the potential difference remains constant across all capacitors. No capacitor will have a lower potential difference than this. This matches with statement [B].
  • (iii) Capacitor 8C in Fig C: Assuming this capacitor has the highest charge in the circuit, no other capacitor will store less charge than this. This matches with statement [C].
  • (iv) Capacitor 2C in Fig C: Given that this capacitor does not have the highest charge and others could exceed this charge, it could match statement [D].

Thus, the correct matches would be: (i) -> A, (ii) -> B, (iii) -> C, (iv) -> D. Therefore, the key relationship is that potential differences in capacitors can dictate their charge states, configuring a connection between their respective values.
