Combination of Capacitors

Three condensers of capacities ' C1C_1 ', ' C2C_2 ', ' C3C_3 ' are connected in series with a source of e.m.f. ' VV '. The potentials across the three condensers are in the ratio

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. In series every capacitor carries the same charge QQ, so Vi=QCiV_i = \frac{Q}{C_i}.
  2. V1:V2:V3=1C1:1C2:1C3V_1 : V_2 : V_3 = \frac{1}{C_1} : \frac{1}{C_2} : \frac{1}{C_3}
  3. So the answer is (d).
