Q119 / 197 · NEET 2009 (Mains) · Physics

Three capacitors each of capacitance $C$ and of breakdown voltage $\mathrm{V}$ are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will be :

  • A
    $3 \mathrm{C}, 3 \mathrm{~V}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}, \frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}$
  • C
    $3 \mathrm{C}, \frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}, 3 \mathrm{~V}$

Solution

In series, $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}$, $$ \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{eq}}=3 \mathrm{~V} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
