Which statement about the charge on each capacitor and the voltage across each capacitor is best?
Added by Christine G.
Step 1
This is because the capacitors are connected in series, so the same current flows through each capacitor, leading to the same charge being stored on each capacitor. Show more…

Which of the following statements regarding capacitors are true? If you connect two different capacitors in series and charge them up, both of them will have equal voltage. If you connect two charged capacitors in series, the voltage across both of them is the sum of the individual voltages. Two similar capacitors in parallel have double the capacitance of each individual one. If you connect three of the same capacitors in series, you get one third of the individual capacitance. If you connect two different capacitors in parallel and charge them up, both of them will have equal voltage.
