Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance JEE (Main) / AIEEE Problems Previous Years - ( Capacitance ) MCQ (Single Correct)

In the circuit shown in the figure, there are two parallel plate capacitors each of capacitance C. The switch S 1 is pressed first to fully charge the capacitor C 1 and then released. The switch S 2 is then pressed to charge the capacitor C 2 . After some time, S 2 is released and then S 3 is pressed. After some time.

A
the charge on the upper plate of C 1 is 2CV 0
B
the charge on the upper plate of C 1 is CV 0
C
the charge on the upper plate of C 2 is 0
D
the charge on the upper plate of C 2 is –CV 0

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(b, d)

Sol. When switch S 1 is released charge on C 1 is 2CV 0 (on upper plate)

When switch S 2 is pressed charge on C 1 is CV 0 (on upper plate) and charge on C 2 is CV 0 (on upper plate)

When switch S 2 is released and switch S 3 pressed charge on C 1 is CV 0 (on upper plate) and charge on C 2 is – CV 0 (on upper plate)
