Three capacitors each of capacitance C and of breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will be
-
-
3C, V 3 -
C 3V 3 - 3C, 3V
-
C , V 3 3
-
Correct Option: B
In series combination of capacitors Veff = V + V + V = 3V
| = | + | + | |||||
| Ceff | C | C | C |
| ⇒ Ceff = | ||
| 3 |
Thus, the capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will be C/3 and 3V.
