Problem
Capacitors of 2μF, 4μF and 6μF are connected in parallel to a battery. Which statement is always true for this arrangement?
(a) Each capacitor is at the same potential difference while the charge on each is inversely proportional to its capacitance.
(b) Each capacitor is at the same potential difference while the charge on each is proportional to its capacitance.
(c) Each capacitor stores the same charge but the potential differences are different.
(d) Each capacitor stores the same energy because they are connected to the same battery.
