Two capacitors C1{C_1} and C2{C_2} are charged to 120120 VV and 200200 VV respectively. It is found that connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 5C1=3C25{C_1} = 3{C_2}
  • B 3C1=5C23{C_1} = 5{C_2}
  • C 3C1+5C2=03{C_1} + 5{C_2} = 0
  • D 9C1=4C29{C_1} = 4{C_2}

JEE Main 2013 (Offline) Physics - Capacitor Question 142 English Explanation

For potential to be made zero, after connection

120C1=200C2120{C_1} = 200{C_2}

[  \left[ {\,\,} \right. as C=qv  ]\left. {C = {q \over v}\,\,} \right]

⇒3C1=5C2\Rightarrow 3{C_1} = 5{C_2}
