AIPMT PRELIMS 2009 Physics Capacitors in Series MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Three capacitors each of capacitance C and of breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will be:
A
3C, V/3
B
C/3, 3V
C
3C, 3V
D
C/3, V/3
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
In series, the effective capacitance is given by 1/C_eff = 1/C + 1/C + 1/C, which simplifies to C_eff = C/3. The breakdown voltage adds up, so V_eff = 3V.
