Question

For capacitors in parallel, which statement is true?
Options
A The charge on each capacitor is the same
B The voltage across each capacitor is the same
Correct Answer
C The equivalent capacitance is smaller than any individual
D The total charge is the same as on each
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In a parallel connection, the same voltage is applied across each capacitor. The charges add: Q_total = Q₁ + Q₂ + ...

Hint

Parallel: same voltage, charge adds.
