Two condensers, one of capacity C and the other of capacity
are connected to a V volt battery, as shown below in the figure. The work done in fully charging both the condensers is:

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The two condensers in the circuit are in parallel connection, hence

The work done in charging the equivalent capacitor is stored in the form of potential energy.
Hence,
