Question 1

Part A

Is the following statement true or false?

"The potential difference across any uncharged capacitor must be zero."

Part B

For capacitors connected in parallel, which of the following electrical properties must be the same for each capacitor? Select the correct answer 0 of 3 attempts used O stored charge O electric potential across each capacitor CHECK ANSWER electric field Your Answer O energy stored in each capacitor O capacitance

Answer 1

Part A The relation between the charge, voltage and capacitance of the capacitor is defined as, Here, Q is the charge and C is the capacitance of capacitor Initially, the capacitance is uncharged and therefore charge stored is zero. Therefore 0 V 0 Hence, the given statement is true Part B For capacitors connected in parallel, the voltage voltage equal source voltage. Hence, across is in parallel connection across each capacitor remains same Thus, the option second is correct
