Q. A capacitor having capacitance $C$ is charged to a voltage $V.$ It is then removed and connected in parallel with another identical capacitor which is uncharged. The new charge on each capacitor is now
A) $CV$
B) $CV/2$
C) $2\ CV$
D) $CV/4$
Explanation
(b) Charge flows to second capacitor until the potential is same $i.e.\ V/2.$ So new charge $= CV/2$
