Question

Two capacitors of capacitance 6 µF and 3 µF are connected in series across a battery of constant voltage. The charges stored on the two capacitors in this setup are denoted as Q 1​ and Q 2​, respectively. Now, both capacitors are disconnected and separately connected across the same battery (one at a time). Let the new charges stored on the 6 µF and 3 µF capacitors be Q 3​ and Q 4​, respectively. Which of the following is the correct relation?

A Q₃ > Q₄ > Q₁ = Q₂
B Q₁ = Q₂ > Q₃ > Q₄
C Q₃ > Q₁ = Q₂ > Q₄
D Q₃ = Q₄ > Q₁ = Q₂
