Question

assume four different capacitors are connected in parallel to a battery. Which capacitor has the greatest V (potential difference), and which capacitor has the greatest charge q?

a)V: greatest for smallest C; q the same for all C's

b)V: the same for all C's; q greatest for largest C    

c)V: greatest for smallest C; q greatest for smallest C

d)V: greatest for largest C; q greatest for smallest C

e)V: the same for all C's; q greatest for smallest CV: greatest for largest C; q the same for all C's

f)V: the same for all C's; q the same for all C's

g)V: greatest for largest C; q greatest for largest C

h)V: greatest for smallest C; q greatest for largest C

Explanation / Answer

here

Capaciatnce C = Q/V

where Q is charge and V is Potential diff

so

so for greater C, we must have max charge and least PD

so

c)V: greatest for smallest C; q greatest for smallest C
