Q.No.166: - Each capacitor in parallel combination has equal potential difference between its two plates. Justify the statement.

Q.No.166: - Each capacitor in parallel combination has equal potential difference between its two plates. Justify the statement.
Ans: - As current flow in each capacitor is same that’s why the potential of each capacitor across its plates is same.
                                                   OR

In this method left plates of all the capacitors are connected to one point and the right ones connected to another point.

In parallel combination all the capacitors get same potential difference (V) because all the capacitors are connected across the same terminals of battery.


In Parallel combination, the left plate of each capacitor is connected to the positive terminal of the battery by a conducting wire. In the same way, the right plate of each capacitor is connected to the negative terminal of the battery

Therefore, each capacitor connected to a battery of voltage V has the same potential difference V across it. i.e.,

V1= V2= V3= V
