Three capacitors each of capacitance `C` and of breakdown voltage `V` are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will be

A

`C/3, V/3`

B

`3C,V/3`

C

`C/3, 3V`

D

`3C,3V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`1/(C.) =1/C +1/C+1/C implies C. =C/3`
`V. =V_1 +V_2+V_3 =3V`
