Question : 57
Total: 60
Two capacitors of 3 µF and 6 µF are connected in series and a potential difference of 900 V is applied across the combination . They are then disconnected and reconnected in parallel. The potential difference across the combination is
Zero
100 V
200 V
400 V
Validate
Solution:
If Q is charge on capacitor and C is capacitance then, potential difference
V
=
Q
C
When two capacitors are connected in series, then equivalent capacitance is

Now, Q = C × V
Given, V = 900 V
Therefore,
