Question

(1 point) 1. Suppose you have a 20puF capacitor and a 40pF capacitor that you want to connect together. In what type of connection will the 20uF capacitor have a greater potential difference across it than the 40F capacitor? Explain your answer. A. parallel B. series C. either series or parallel D. neither series or parallel (1 point) 2. In what type of connection will the 20F capacitor have a greater charge than the 40AF capacitor? Explain your answer A. parallel B. series C. either series or parallel D. neither series or parallel

Explanation / Answer

1] Option B is correct

We know that, Q = CV

If the capacitor is connected in parallel, then they have same potential difference. An dif they are connected in series then they have same charge.

So, in case of series,

V of 20 uF = Q/20 uF

V of 40 uF = Q/40 uF

from here, we see that potential differnce of 20uF capacitor is greater than a 40 uF capacitor. So, they are connected in series.
