Four capacitors marked with capacitances and breakdown voltages are connected as shown in the figure. The maximum emf of the source, so that no capacitor breaks down is 

Options
- A10.5 kV
- B5.25 kV
- C2.25 kV
- D1.25 kV
Correct answer
C. 2.25 kV
Step-by-step solution

Resultant capacitance of series combination 1 , Resultant capacitance of series combination 2, So, charge on upper branch is and charge on lower branch is $\frac{6}{5} \mathrm{~V}.

So, smallest value is 2.25 kV.
