Choose the incorrect statement from the following: When two identical capacitors are charged individually to different potentials and connected in parallel to each other after disconnecting them from the source.

  • A
    Net charge equals the sum of initial charges.
  • B
    The net energy stored in the two capacitors is less than the sum of the initial individual energies.
  • C
    The net potential difference across them is different from the sum of the individual initial potential differences.
  • D
    The net potential difference across them equals the sum of the individual initial potential differences.

An uncharged parallel plate capacitor having a dielectric of constant $K$ is connected to a similar air-cored parallel capacitor charged to a potential $V$. The two share the charge and the common potential is $V'$. The dielectric constant $K$ is

$A$ conducting body $1$ has some initial charge $Q$,and its capacitance is $C$. There are two other conducting bodies,$2$ and $3$,having capacitances $C_2 = 2C$ and $C_3 \rightarrow \infty$. Bodies $2$ and $3$ are initially uncharged. Body $2$ is touched with body $1$. Then,body $2$ is removed from body $1$ and touched with body $3$,and then removed. This process is repeated $N$ times. The charge on body $1$ at the end must be:
