Two capacitors C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel to a battery. Charge-time graph is shown below for the two capacitors. The energy stored with them are U₁ and U₂ , respectively. Which of the given statements is true?
Options
- AC ₂ C ₁, U ₂ U ₁
- BC ₁ C ₂, U ₁ U ₂
- CC ₁ C ₂, U ₁ U ₂
- DC ₂ C ₁, U ₂ U ₁
Correct answer
D. C ₂ C ₁, U ₂ U ₁
Step-by-step solution
For a capacitor at steady state q=C V and U= 1 2 C V^2 Since C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel, V₁=V₂ . Also from graph q₁ C₁ & U₁ U₂ = C₁ V₁^2 C₂ V₂^2 = C₁ C₂ U₁
