Electrostatics Question 280

Question: A capacitor of capacitance C1= 1μF can with stand maximum voltage V1= 6kV(kilovolt) and another capacitor of capacitance C2=3μF can withstand maximum voltage V2= 4kV . When the two capacitors are connected in series, the combined system can withstand a maximum voltage of [MP PET 2001]

Options:

A) 4μF

B) 2μF

C) 18μF

D) 6μF

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

If the value of C is chosen as 4μF , the equivalent capacity across every part of the section will be 4μF .
