Three charged capacitors,$C_1 = 17 \ \mu F$,$C_2 = 34 \ \mu F$,$C_3 = 41 \ \mu F$ and two open switches,$S_1$ and $S_2$ are assembled into a network with initial voltages and polarities,as shown in the figure. The final status of the network is attained when the two switches,$S_1$ and $S_2$ are closed. In the figure,the final charge on capacitor $C_3$ in $mC$ is closest to:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $410$
  • C
    $1200$
  • D
    $3300$

Two capacitors of capacitance $C$ and $2C$ are connected in parallel and charged to a potential difference $V$. The battery is then disconnected,and the space between the plates of the capacitors is completely filled with a dielectric material of constant $K$. Determine the new potential difference across the capacitors.

Identify the correct statements:
$A$. Effective capacitance of a series combination of capacitors is always smaller than the smallest capacitance of the capacitor in the combination.
$B$. When a dielectric medium is placed between the charged plates of a capacitor, displacement of charges cannot occur due to the insulation property of the dielectric.
$C$. Increasing the area of the capacitor plate or decreasing the thickness of the dielectric is an alternate method to increase the capacitance.
$D$. For a point charge, concentric spherical shells centered at the location of the charge are equipotential surfaces.
