Verizon 7:56 PM * 30% s.com Chapter 19 Question 4 MasteringPhysics Part A When two or more different capacitors are connected in parallel across a potential source (battery), which of the following statements must be true? (There could be more than one correct choice.) The capacitor with the largest capacitance has the most charge. The capacitor with the largest capacitance has the largest potential difference across it. Each capacitor carries the same amount of charge. The equivalent capacitance than the capacitance of any one of the c of the combination is less apacitors. The potential difference across each capacitor is the same Submit Re quest Answen Next

Explanation / Answer

in parallel combination

Equivalent capacitance is Ceq = C1+C2+C3+.....

C1,C2 and C3 are individual capacitances

and C = Q/V

in parallel,potential drop across each capacitor is same

So more is the capacitance then more is the charge stored on capacitor

so answers are

The capacitor with the largest capacitance has the most charge

The potential difference across each capacitor is the same
