Two capacitors of capacitances \(8 \mu F\) and \(20 \mu F\) are connected in series with a battery. The voltage across the \(8 \mu F\) capacitor is 5 V . The total battery voltage is:

  1. A 5 V
  2. B 10 V
  3. C 7 V
  4. D 12.5 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 7 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Q = C_1 V_1 = (8 \, \mu F)(5 \, V) = 40 \, \mu C\) \(V_2 = \frac{Q}{C_2} = \frac{40 \, \mu C}{20 \, \mu F} = 2 \, V\) \(V_{total} = V_1 + V_2 = 5 \, V + 2 \, V = 7 \, V\)
