Two condenser of capacities 1 muF and 2 ...

Two condenser of capacities `1 muF` and `2 muF` are connected in series and the system is charged to `10` volts. Then the `P.D.` on `1 muF` capacitor (in volts) will be

`40`

`60`

`80`

`120`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Charges developed are same so
`C_(1)V_(1) = C_(2)V_(2) rArr (V_(1))/(V_(2)) = 2`
`V_(1) + V_(2) = 120 rArr V_(1) = 80` volts
