The Four Identical Capacitors in the Circuit Shown in the Figure

question 32

Multiple Choice

The four identical capacitors in the circuit shown in the figure are initially uncharged. Let the charges on the capacitors be Q₁, Q₂, Q₃, and Q₄ and the potential differences across them be V₁, V₂, V₃, and V₄. The switch is thrown first to position A and kept there for a long time. It is then thrown to position B. Which of the following conditions is true with the switch in position B?

• A) V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = V₄
• B) V₁ = V₀
• C) V₁ + V₂ + V₃ + V₄ = V₀
• D) Q₁ = 3 Q₂
• E) Q₁ = Q₂
