Question
When a charged capacitor is connected with an uncharged capacitor, then which of the following is/are correct option/options.
Options
A.the magnitude of charge on the charged capacitor decreases.
B.a steady state is obtained after which no further flow of charge occurs.
C.the total potential energy stored in the capacitors remains conserved.
D.the charge conservation is always true.
Solution
Magnitude of charge on the charged capacitor decreases and total charge is conserved.
At V1 = V2 ⇒ no further flow of charge occurs i.e. condition of steady state.
In charge flow energy is consumed in heat.
At V1 = V2 ⇒ no further flow of charge occurs i.e. condition of steady state.
In charge flow energy is consumed in heat.
