Three capacitors each of capacitance CC and of breakdown voltage VV are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will beThree capacitors each of capacitance C and of breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown

Options

  1. AC3,V3\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}, \frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}
  2. B3C,V33 \mathrm{C}, \frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}
  3. CC3,3 V\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}, 3 \mathrm{~V}
  4. D3C,3 V3 \mathrm{C}, 3 \mathrm{~V}

Correct answer

C. C3,3 V\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}, 3 \mathrm{~V}

Step-by-step solution

In series arrangement charge on each plate of each capacitor has same magnitude. The potential difference is distributed inversely in the ratio of capacitors ie, $\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{V}$_1+\mathrm{V}_2+\mathrm{V}_3 \ldots Here, V=3VV=3 V The equivalent capacitance Cs\mathrm{C}_s is given by Three capacitors each of capacitance C and of breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown
\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{C_s}=\frac{1}{C_1}+\frac{1}{C_2}+\frac{1}{C_3}+\ldots \\ & C_s=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3} \end{aligned}
