Concept explainers
The capacitor which has a greater larger potential difference across it and the magnitude of that potential difference.
Answer to Problem 37PP
1st capacitor will have larger potential difference across it with the magnitude of 106 V.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The capacitance of the 1st capacitor,
The capacitance of the 2nd capacitor,
The charge across the capacitors,
Formula used:
The capacitance is given by,
Where,
Calculation:
The potential difference across 1st capacitor will be,
And, the potential difference across 2nd capacitor will be,
Conclusion:
Hence, the potential difference across 1st capacitor with capacitance
