PHY 102 Capacitors and Capacitance Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

For capacitors in series, which statement is true?
Options
A The charge on each capacitor is the same
Correct Answer
B The voltage across each capacitor is the same
C The equivalent capacitance is greater than any individual
D The total charge is the sum of individual charges
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In a series connection, the same charge Q flows through each capacitor because charge cannot accumulate at the internal nodes.

Hint

Series: same charge, voltage divides.
