Question:

Two identical parallel plate capacitors of same dimensions are connected to a DC source in series. When one of the plates of one capacitor is brought closer to other plate

Options:

the voltage on the capacitor whose plates came closer is greater than the voltage on the capacitor whose plates are not moved

the voltage on the capacitor whose plates came closer is smaller than the voltage on the capacitor whose plates are not moved

the voltage on the two capacitors remain equal

the applied voltage is divided among the two inversely as the capacitance

Correct Answer:

the voltage on the capacitor whose plates came closer is smaller than the voltage on the capacitor whose plates are not moved
