NEETPhysicsCapacitance
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 statem
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 (( 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= C₁ V₁+C₂ V₂ C₂+C₂ ) When two capacitors are connected then energy of system decreases. (but Not always)
