Q. Choose the incorrect statement from the following. When two identical capacitors are charged individually to different potentials and connected parallel to each other after disconnecting them from the source
A) Net charge equals the sum of initial charges
B) The net energy stored in the two capacitors is less than the sum of the initial individual energies
C) The net potential difference across them is different from the sum of the individual initial potential difference
D) The net potential difference across them equals the sum of the individual initial potential differences
Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: The net potential difference across them equals the sum of the individual initial potential differences.
