Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : When two charged capacitors are connected in parallel, then total potential energy of system always decreases.
Reason (R) : During recombination charge flow from one capacitor to another capacitor so energy is lost in the form of heat and electromagnetic radiation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- BBoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is NOT the correct explanation of ((\mathrm{A})).
- C(A) is true but (R) is false.
- D(A) is false but (R) is true.
Correct answer
A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Step-by-step solution
(V=\frac{C_1 V_1+C_2 V_2}{C_2+C_2}) When two capacitors are connected then energy of system decreases. (but Not always)
