In fig 25-31 `C_1=10.0 mu F, C_2=20.0 mu F and C_3=5.00 mu F` If no capacitor can withstand a potential difference of more than 100V without failure , what are (a) the magnitude of the maximum potential difference that can exist between points A and B and (b) the maximum energy that can be stored in the three capacitor arrangement?

Explanation

`a)175 V b) 4.375 times 10^-2 J approx 44 mJ`
