प्रश्न
Two metal spheres of capacitance C1 and C2 carry some charges. They are put in contact and then separated. The final charges Q1 and Q2 on them will satisfy
पर्याय
`Q_1/Q_2< C_1/C_2`
`Q_1/Q_2 = C_1/C_2`
`Q_1/Q_2 > C_1/C_2`
`Q_1/Q_2 = C_2/C_1`
उत्तर
`Q_1/Q_2 = C_1/C_2`
When the spheres are connected, charges flow between them until they both acquire the same common potential V.
The final charges on the spheres are given by
Q1 = C1V and Q2 = C2V
`therefore Q_1/Q_2 = (C_1V)/(C_2V) = C_1/C_2`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
