Consider the following statements about capacitors.

1. Series capacitors share the same charge   2. Parallel capacitors share the same voltage   3. The stored energy goes as the first power of the voltage

  • A.1 and 2 only are correct
  • B.1, 2 and 3 are all correct statements about capacitor combinations
  • C.2 and 3 only are correct
  • D.1 and 3 only are correct

Answer: A

The first two are the defining conditions from which both combination rules follow. The energy goes as the square of the voltage, which is why doubling the working voltage of a capacitor bank quadruples the energy it can deliver.
