if capacitors are in parallel than




 


potential difference across them would be same




 


(if a plate of capacitor is connected by wire to another capacitors plate than both will have same potential)




 






 




 


it is not a necessary condition for charge tobe same in both capacitor




 


if capacitors in series than




 


important condition that charge will be same on them .




 


and the potential difference would not be same.




 


for example




 


a capacitor c and C here connected in series bcoz potential diff. across c will be V2-V and across C V2-V1(assuming V>V2>V1)




 


V----------II------V2----II-----------V1




 


a capacitor c and C connected in parallel




 


  V----------------II-----------------V1




 


 V---------------II-----------------V1




 


they in parallel bcoz potential is same




 


but here charge may or may not be same................................................................................................




 


if understood thank OK




 


otherwise send me your email id
