Three capacitors \(3 \mu \mathrm{F}, 6 \mu \mathrm{F}\) and \(6 \mu \mathrm{F}\) are connected in aeries to a source of \(120 \mathrm{V}\). The potential difference, in volt, across the \(3 \mu \mathrm{F}\) capacitor will be

  1. A 24
  2. B 30
  3. C 40
  4. D 60
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 60

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The combination of three charges in series \[ \begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}+\frac{1}{C_{3}} \\ \frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow C=\frac{6}{4}=1.5 \mu \mathrm{F} \end{array} \] The charge of this circuit…
