Two capacitor having capacitances `8muF` and `16 muF` have breaking voltage `20V` and `80V`. They are combined in series. The maximum charge they can store individually in the combination is

A

`160 muC`

B

`200 muC`

C

`1280 muC`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`{:(q_(1)=8muFxx20V,,rArrq_(1)=160muC,,),(q_(2)=16muF xx 80V,,rArrq_(2) = 1280muC,,):}`
In series combination charge in comon so max charge they can store is `160muC`
