A capacitor of capacitance 1 μF withstands a maximum voltage of 6 kV while another capacitor of capacitance 2 μF, the maximum voltage 4 kV If they are connected in series, the combination can withstand a maximum of

a
6 kV
b
4 kV
c
10 kV
d
9 kV

detailed solution

Correct option is D

When the two condensers ate connected in series C=2×12+1=23μF  and  Q=23EThe potential of condenser C1 is given byV1=QC1=23E<6kV∴ E<6×33 or E<9kV
