Question

In an adjoining figure are shown three capacitors C subscript 1 end subscript,C subscript 2 end subscript and C subscript 3 end subscript joined to a battery. The correct condition will be (Symbols have their usual meanings)

  1. Q subscript 1 end subscript equals Q subscript 2 end subscript equals Q subscript 3 end subscript and V subscript 1 end subscript equals V subscript 2 end subscript equals V subscript 3 end subscript equals V    
  2. Q subscript 1 end subscript equals Q subscript 2 end subscript plus Q subscript 3 end subscriptandV equals V subscript 1 end subscript plus V subscript 2 end subscript plus V subscript 3 end subscript    
  3. Q subscript 1 end subscript equals Q subscript 2 end subscript plus Q subscript 3 end subscript and V equals V subscript 1 end subscript plus V subscript 2 end subscript    
  4. Q subscript 2 end subscript equals Q subscript 3 end subscript and V subscript 2 end subscript equals V subscript 3 end subscript    

The correct answer is: Q subscript 1 end subscript equals Q subscript 2 end subscript plus Q subscript 3 end subscript and V equals V subscript 1 end subscript plus V subscript 2 end subscript


    Q subscript 1 end subscript equals Q subscript 2 end subscript plus Q subscript 3 end subscript because in series combination charge is same on both the condenser and V equals V subscript 1 end subscript plus V subscript 2 end subscript because in parallel combination V subscript 2 end subscript equals V subscript 3 end subscript.
    Hence V equals V subscript 1 end subscript plus V subscript 2 end subscript
