Solution
The correct options are A Maximum potential difference is across C1 B Minimum potential difference is across combination of C3 and C4 D Maximum potential energy is across C1 We have capacitance, C=QV where Q is the charge and V is the potential difference. ⟹V=QC Potential difference across C1 is QC Potential difference across C2 is Q2C Potential difference across C3 and C4 is Q7C as effective capacitance across C3 and C4 is 7C. Potential energy across C1 is 12CV2 ⟹PE=12C×Q2C2 Potential energy across C2 is 122CV2 ⟹PE=122C×Q24C2=12C×Q22C2 Hence maximum potential energy is across C1 Option C is correct.
