In the adjoining diagram all the capacitors are initially uncharged, they are connected with a battery as a shown in figure. Then
A
Q 1 = Q 2 + Q 3 and V = V 1 + V 2
B
Q 1 = Q 2 + Q 3 and V = V 1 + 
C
Q 1 = Q 2 + Q 3 and V = V 1 + V 3
D
Q 2 = Q 3 and V = V 2 + V 3
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b, c)
In shown fig. C 2 and C 3 are parallel capacitor therefore V 2 = V 3 .
Charge Q 1 flow through battery and gone to C 1 and divided into C 2 and C 3
Q 1 = Q 2 + Q 3 ,
total potential V = V 1 + V 2 = V 1 + V 3 = V 1 +
