Question

Can charged capacitors with same voltages be connected in series or parallel?

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,
When connected in series, capacitors have same charge, and if the capacitance is different, then potential difference across them will be different.
And when connected in parallel, capacitors have same potential.,and charge is different.
hence, charged capacitors with same voltages be connected in parallel.
