Question
Two identical capacitors are joined in parallel, charged to potential $V$, separated and then, connected in series, $i.e.$, the positive plate of one is connected to the negative plate of the other. Then
✓
Answer
Both capacitors are charged to the same potential, so they acquire the same charge. When connected in series, the charges on free plates neutralise each other.
