Q. Two capacitors connected in parallel having the capacities $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ are given $'q'$ charge, which is distributed among them. The ratio of the charge on $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ will be
A) $\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}$
B) $\frac{C_{2}}{C_{1}}$
C) $C_{1}C_{2}$
D) $\frac{1}{C_{1}C_{2}}$
Explanation
(a) In parallel combination $V_{1} = V_{2}$
Or $\frac{q_{1}}{C_{1}} = \frac{q_{2}}{C_{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{q_{1}}{q_{2}} = \frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}$
