Three capacitors of 2 mu F, 3mu F and 6 ...

Three capacitors of `2 mu F, 3mu F and 6 mu F` are joined in series and the combination is charged by means of a 24 V battery. The potential difference between the plates of the `6 muF` capacitor is

A

4V

B

6 V

C

8V

D

10 V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In series `V_1 : V_2 : V_3 = 1/C_1 : 1/C_2 :1/C_3 and V_1 + V_2 V_3 = 24 V`
`rArr `Potential difference across `6 mu F` capacitor, `V_3 = 4V`
