हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding the combinations of capacitors: (A) In a series combination of \( n \) capacitors, the effective capacitance is always smaller than the smallest individual capacitance. (B) In a parallel combination of \( n \) capacitors, the charge on each capacitor is strictly identical irrespective of their capacitance values. (C) In a series combination, the sum of the potential drops across individual capacitors equals the total applied potential difference. (D) In a parallel combination, the equivalent capacitance is the arithmetic sum of the individual capacitances. Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 2
(A), (C) and (D) only
Explanation
Statements (A), (C), and (D) are standard verified properties of capacitor combinations. Statement (B) is false because in parallel, charges \( Q_i = C_i V \) are unequal for different capacitances.
