Question:medium
Two capacitors \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \) are charged to 120 V and 200 V respectively. It is found that by connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then:
Two capacitors \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \) are charged to 120 V and 200 V respectively. It is found that by connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then:
Show Hint
For capacitors connected in parallel, the charges redistribute according to the capacitances.

- \( 5 C_1 = 3 C_2 \)
- \( 3 C_1 = 5 C_2 \)
- \( C_1 + C_2 = 0 \)
- \( 9 C_1 = 4 C_2 \)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
