486Assertion is True,Reason is also True but not the correct explanation.
Assertion: In series combination, charges on two capacitors are always equal.
Reason: If charges are same, the total potential difference applied across two capacitors will be distributed in inverse ratio of capacities.

1161Everyone ..will you please think about a partially or fully charged capacitor separately, connected in series with an uncharged capacitor. In that case also Assertion will be true.
591Sir the case which u r talking about... in that if the capacitors are connected in series with a battery then the charge will be the same obviously but if only the two capacitors are connected in series with each other then not the charges but the p.d. between them will be the same ...this is the point naa ?

- Akash Anand Actually a bit different, suppose the capacitors connected in series with a battery, are not uncharged, but charged(partially/fully) then the charges will be different on each capacitors.
Soumyadeep Basu Sir, the magnitude of charge supplied by the battery to the capacitors will be the same, won't it?- Akash Anand yeah..but final charge on all the capacitors won't be same, right?
481Sir if the Assertion would have been -"In series combination, charges on two capacitors are equal."..instead of always equal,then would the assertion be true?
- Akash Anand There must be "always" there otherwise the answer will be both, may be or may not be.
- Anurag Ghosh Means if this question comes in one or more correct we will mark both as our option-the options being A.charges in both capacitors are equal
B.charges are unequally distributed?
