n identical capacitors are connected in ...

`n` identical capacitors are connected in parallel to a potential difference `V`. These capacitors are then reconnected in series, their charges being left undisturbed. The potential difference obtained is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In series, potentials of all capacitors will be added, so net potential will be `NV`.
