Two capacitors of capacitances C_(1) and C_(2) are connected in parallel. If a charge Q is given to the combination, the ratio of the charge on the capacitor C_(1) to the charge on C_(2) will be

Answer»

`(C_(1))/(C_(2))`
`sqrt((C_(1))/(C_(2))`
`sqrt((C_(2))/(C_(1))`
`(C_(2))/(C_(1))`

Solution :(a) `(C_(1))/(C_(2))`
[Hint: When two capacitors are connected in parallel, potential DIFFERENCE across them is same i.e., `V_(1)=V_(2)=V`(SAY), So `(Q_(1))/(Q_(2))=(C_(1)V_(1))/(C_(2)V_(2))=(C_(1)V)/(C_(2)V)=(C_(1))/(C_(2)).`]
