2.The capacitor with the largest capacitance carries the smallest charge.
3.The potential difference across each capacitor is the same, and the equivalent capacitance is greater than any of the capacitors in the group.
4.The capacitor with the smallest capacitance carries the largest charge.
5.The potential differences across the capacitors are the same only if the capacitances are the same.
