Combination of Capacitors

Capacitors of capacities C1,C2C_1, C_2 and C3C_3 are connected in series. If the combination is connected to a supply of 'VV' volt, then potential difference across capacitor 'C1C_1' is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. 1Ceq=C2C3+C1C3+C1C2C1C2C3\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{C_2 C_3 + C_1 C_3 + C_1 C_2}{C_1 C_2 C_3}, so Q=C1C2C3VC2C3+C1C3+C1C2Q = \frac{C_1 C_2 C_3 V}{C_2 C_3 + C_1 C_3 + C_1 C_2}.
  2. V1=QC1=C2C3VC2C3+C1C3+C1C2V_1 = \frac{Q}{C_1} = \frac{C_2 C_3 V}{C_2 C_3 + C_1 C_3 + C_1 C_2}
  3. So the answer is (c).
