Question
Two capacitors A and B are connected in series with a battery as shown in the figure. When the switch S is closed and the two capacitors get charged fully, then
- The potential difference across the plates of A is 4V and across the plates of B is 6V
- The potential difference across the plates of A is 6V and across the plates of B is 4V
- The ratio of electrical energies stored in A and B is 2 : 3
- The ratio of charges on A and B is 3 : 2
The correct answer is: The potential difference across the plates of A is 6V and across the plates of B is 4V
In series combination of capacitors, voltage distributes on them, in the reverse ratio of their capacitance i.e. 
......(i)
Also VA + VB = 10 .......(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii) VA = 6V, VB = 4V
