An electrical technician requires a capacitance of `2 muF` in a circuit across a potential difference of 1 kV. A large number of `1 mu F` capacitors are available to him each of which can withstand a potential difference of not more than 400 V. Suggest a possible arrangement that requires the minimum number of capacitors.
