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 answerD$\frac{\mathrm{C}}{3}, 3 \mathrm{~V}$
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'.
