In the circuit shown in figure initially key K1is closed and key K2 is open. Then K1 is opened and K2 is closed (order is important). [Take Q’1 and Q’2 as charges on C1 and C2 and V1 and V2 as voltage respectively.] Then, E
(a) Charge on C, gets redistributed such that V1 = V2
(b) Charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q’1 = Q’2
(c) Charge on C1 gets redistributed such that C1V1 + C2V2 = C1E
(d) Charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q’1 + Q’2=Q

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(a), (d) Initially key K1 is closed and key K2 is open, the capacitor C1 is charged by battery and capacitor C2 is still uncharged. Now K1 is opened and K2 is closed, the capacitors C1 and C2 both are connected in parallel. The charge stored by capacitor C1, gets redistributed between C1 and C2 till their potentials become same, i.e., V2 = V1.
By law of conservation of charge, the charge stored in capacitor Cx is equal to sum of charges on capacitors C1 and C2 when K1 is opened and K2 is closed, i.e., Q...more

This chapter covers the concepts of potential, capacitors, and potential energy. It is considered as one of the easy chapter of the class 12 Physics.
It is the farad (F). The name came from Michael Faraday. SI Unit of Capacitance means the ability of a system to store an electric charge. One farad is the capacitance of a device that needs one coulomb of charge to provide one volt potential difference across it. Mathematically, it is represented by - 1 Farad = 1 Coulomb/Volt.
