Question

Figure shows two capacitors connected in series and joined to a battery. The graph shows the variation in potential as one moves from left to right on the branch containing the capacitors.

• A. $C _ { 1 } > C _ { 2 }$
• B. $C _ { 1 } = C _ { 2 }$
• C. $C _ { 1 } < C _ { 2 }$
• D. The information is insufficient to decide the relation between $C _ { 1 }$ and $C _ { 2 }$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$C _ { 1 } < C _ { 2 }$

Answer 2

According to graph we can say that potential difference across the capacitor $C _ { 1 }$ is more than that across $C _ { 2 }$ . Since charge Q is same i.e., $\left( V _ { 1 } > V _ { 2 } \right)$
