Question

An arrangement of three capacitors is connected to the battery. C₁ and C₂has fixed capacitances. If C₃ is increased and is made 10 µF then-

• A. Charge on C₁ increases and that on C₂ also increases
• B. Charge on C₁ decreases and that on C₂ decreases
• C. Chargeon C₁increasesbutthaton C₂decreases
• D. Chargeon C₁decreasesbutthaton C₂increases

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Chargeon C₁increasesbutthaton C₂decreases

Answer 2

Initial

Hence charge on C₁ increases but on C₂ decreases.
