Question 66 of 180

Two circuits (a) and (b) have charged capacitors of capacitance C, 2C and 3C with open switches. Charges on each of the capacitor are as shown in the figures. On closing the switches



Circuit (a) Circuit (b)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Charges flow from RR to LL in (a) and from LL to RR in (b)

Charge (or current) always flows from higher potential to lower potential.
Potential = Charge  Capacitance =\frac{\text { Charge }}{\text { Capacitance }}
