A series combination of three capacitors...

A series combination of three capacitors of capacities `1 muF, 2muF` and `8 muF` is connected to a battery of e.m.f. `13 volt`. The potential difference across the plates of `2 muF` capacitor will be

A

1V

B

8V

C

4V

D

`13/3V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`V_2=((1/C_2)/(1/C_1+1/C_2+1/C_3))xxV=(1/2)/(1/1+1/2+1/8)xx13`
`= 8/(2xx13) xx13 =4` Volt.
