A 10 μF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 50 V and is connected to another uncharged capacitor in parallel. Now the common potential difference becomes 20 volts. The capacitance of second capacitor is

a
15 μF
b
30 μF
c
20 μF
d
10 μF

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Here, q1=10×50=500μCC1=10μF,C2=?  and  q2=0Now  V=q1+q2C1+C2=500+0C1+C2or    C1+C2=50020=25μF∴ C2=25−C1=25−10=15μF
