Combination of Capacitors

The potential difference that must be applied across the series and parallel combination of 4 identical capacitors is such that the energy stored in them becomes the same. The ratio of potential difference in series to parallel combination is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$C_s = \frac{C}{4}$ , $C_p = 4C$ .
Equal energy: $\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \sqrt{\frac{C_p}{C_s}} = \sqrt{16} = 4$ .
So the answer is (c) $4 : 1$ .
