Combination of Capacitors

Capacitors of capacities $C_1$ and $C_2$ are connected in series. If the combination is connected to a supply of V volt then the potential difference across capacitor $C_2$ is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Series charge: $Q = \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2}V$ .
$V_2 = \frac{Q}{C_2} = \frac{C_1 V}{C_1 + C_2}$
So the answer is (b).
