Question

2-µF and 1-µF capacitors in series from battery, charges P and Q. Then disconnected and charged separately with same battery, charges R and S. Relationship?
Options
A R > S > Q = P
Correct Answer
B P > Q > R = S
C R > P = Q > S
D R = P > S = Q
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Series: same charge P=Q=Q_series = C_eqV = (2/3)V. Separate: R=2V, S=1V. So R > S > Q = P.

Hint

Series: same Q; parallel: Q=CV.
