Problem

Two capacitors C1C_1 and C2C_2 are connected in series across a battery of emf VV. Which of the following statements is always correct? (a) The potential difference across each capacitor is the same. (b) The capacitor with the larger capacitance stores the larger charge. (c) The charge on each capacitor is the same. (d) The total charge supplied by the battery equals Q1+Q2Q_1+Q_2 where Qi=CiVQ_i=C_iV.
