When two capacitors charged to different potential are connected in parallel the statement which is not true about it is: |
some energy is lost both the capacitor acquire a common potential potential lost by one is equal to potential gained by the other charge lost by one is equal to charge gained by the other |
potential lost by one is equal to potential gained by the other |
The correct answer is Option (3) → potential lost by one is equal to potential gained by the other When capacitor are connected in parallel, the voltage across each capacitor is the same as voltage source. But, as potential is not a transferable quantity like charge and the capacitor reach a common potential through redistribution of charge. |
