Two parallel plate capacitors of $8 \mu F$ each are connected in parallel to a $10 \ V$ battery. The plate separation in one of the capacitors is reduced to $40 \%$ of its initial value. The increase in the total charge stored on the capacitors is

  • A
    $80 \mu C$
  • B
    $120 \mu C$
  • C
    $100 \mu C$
  • D

Assertion: Charges are given to plates of two plane parallel plate capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ (such that $C_2 = 2C_1$) as shown in the figure. Then the key $K$ is pressed to complete the circuit. Finally,the net charge on the upper plate and the net charge on the lower plate of capacitor $C_1$ is positive.
Reason: In a parallel plate capacitor,both plates always carry equal and opposite charge.
