Three condensers of capacities C ₁, C ₂, C ₃ are connected in series with a source of e.m.f. V . The potentials across the three condensers are in the ratio of

Options

  1. AC ₁: C ₂: C ₃
  2. BC₁²: C₂²: C₃²
  3. C1: 1: 1
  4. D1 C ₁ : 1 C ₂ : 1 C ₃

Correct answer

D. 1 C ₁ : 1 C ₂ : 1 C ₃

Step-by-step solution

When capacitors are connected in series, the charge is the same on all the capacitors. array l Q = C ₁ ~V ₁= C ₂ ~V ₂= C ₇ ~V ₃ Or V₁ 1 C₁ = V₂ 1 C₂ = V₃ 1 C₃ array
