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

  1. A 10.5 kV
  2. B 5.25 kV
  3. C 2.25 kV
  4. D 1.25 kV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.25 kV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resultant capacitance of series combination 1 , \( \begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{20} \\ C_{\mathrm{eq}_1} & =\frac{20}{9}=2.25 \mu \mathrm{F} \end{aligned} \) Resultant capacitance of series combination 2,…
