Question

In the circuit shown in the following figure, $C_1=1,C_2=2C,C_3=3C,C_4=4C$. Match the entries of column I with the entries of column II.

Answer 1

$C_1=1C,C_2=2C,C_3=3C,C_4=4C$

$C_{3}parallelto{C}_4$ resultant capacitance of combination is $C_p=C_3+C_4$

$C_1,C_2,C_p$ are in series

Potential across a capacitor $V\propto \frac{1}{C}$

$A-1$

Maximum potential diffirence is across $C_1$

$B-3,4$

Minimum potential difference is across $C_p$ i.e across both $C_{3}and{C}_4$

Potential energy stored in capacitor $U=\frac{1}{2}C{V}^2$

$C-1$

Minimum potential energy is across $C_1$

$D-3$

Maximum potential energy is across $C_p$ but $\because C_3<C_4$ msximum potential energy is across $C_3$
