Current Question (ID: 16567)

Question:
$\text{A capacitor of } 1 \, \mu\text{F} \text{ withstands a maximum voltage of } 6 \text{ kilovolts while another capacitor of } 2 \, \mu\text{F} \text{ withstands a maximum voltage of } 4 \text{ kilovolts. If the two capacitors are connected in series, the system will withstand a maximum voltage of:}$
Options:
  • 1. $2 \, \text{kV}$
  • 2. $4 \, \text{kV}$
  • 3. $6 \, \text{kV}$
  • 4. $9 \, \text{kV}$
Solution:
$\text{For series combination, } C_s = \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2} \Rightarrow C_s = \frac{2}{3} \, \mu\text{F}$ $\text{When connected in series, the maximum charge that can flow through the combination equals the lower value of charge accommodated by the first capacitor i.e. } 6000 \, \mu\text{C.}$ $\therefore Q_1 = 6000 \, \mu\text{C and } 8000 \, \mu\text{C}$ $V_s = \frac{Q_1}{C_s} = \frac{6000 \, \mu\text{C}}{(2/3) \, \mu\text{C}} \Rightarrow V_s = 9 \, \text{kV}$
