The Four Identical Capacitors in the Circuit Shown in the Figure

Question 33

Multiple Choice

The four identical capacitors in the circuit shown in the figure are initially uncharged.Let the charges on the capacitors be Q1,Q2,Q3,and Q4 and the potential differences across them be V1,V2,V3,and V4.The switch is thrown first to position A and kept there for a long time.It is then thrown to position B.Which of the following conditions is true with the switch in position B? The four identical capacitors in the circuit shown in the figure are initially uncharged.Let the charges on the capacitors be Q<sub>1</sub>,Q<sub>2</sub>,Q<sub>3</sub>,and Q<sub>4</sub> and the potential differences across them be V<sub>1</sub>,V<sub>2</sub>,V<sub>3</sub>,and V<sub>4</sub>.The switch is thrown first to position A and kept there for a long time.It is then thrown to position B.Which of the following conditions is true with the switch in position B? A) V<sub>1</sub> = V<sub>2</sub> = V<sub>3</sub> = V<sub>4</sub> B) V<sub>1</sub> = V<sub>0</sub> C) V<sub>1</sub> + V<sub>2</sub> + V<sub>3</sub> + V<sub>4</sub> = V<sub>0</sub> D) Q<sub>1</sub> = 3 Q<sub>2</sub> E) Q<sub>1</sub> = Q<sub>2</sub>
