Three capacitors each of capacitance 'C' and breakdown voltage 'V' are connected in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the series combination will be respectively

  1. A \(3 \mathrm{C}, 3 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(\frac{c}{3}, \frac{v}{3}\)
  3. C \(3 \mathrm{C}, \frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{c}}{3}, 3 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{c}}{3}, 3 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ceq = \( \left( \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C} \right)^{-1} \) Ceq = \( \left( \frac{3}{C} \right)^{-1} = \frac{C}{3} \)
