A 3 µF capacitor is charged to a potential of 300 V and a 2µF capacitor is charged to 200 V. The capacitors are then connected in parallel with plates of opposite polarity joined together. What amount of charge will flow when the plates are so connected-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The capacitance of first capacitor 
The capacitance of second capacitor 
Voltage across first capacitor 
Voltage across second capacitor 
In parallel combination, charge across first capacitor 
charge across second capacitor
Therefore, total charge in circuit
