Question

Which statement describes the voltage and use of a parallel combination?

पर्याय

• The charge on each capacitor is the same, and the combination is used to divide high voltage

• The voltage across each capacitor is different, and the combination reduces effective capacitance

• The voltage across each capacitor is the same, and the combination is used when a large capacitance at low potential is needed

• The voltage across each capacitor is zero, and the combination cannot store charge

Answer 1

In parallel, the voltage across each capacitor is the same, while the charge on each can be different. This arrangement provides a large capacitance at low potential and can store a large amount of charge.
