In series Ceff = C/3. Effective potential = V + V + V = 3V

Q. Three capacitors each of capacitance C and breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination is

$3 C, 3 V$

$\frac{C}{3}, 3 V$

$3 C, \frac{V}{3}$

$\frac{C}{3}, \frac{V}{3}$

In series $C_{e ff} = C /3.$
Effective potential = $V + V + V = 3 V$

Q. Three capacitors each of capacitance C and breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination is

3C,3V

3C​,3V

3C,3V​

3C​,3V​

In series Ceff​=C/3. Effective potential = V+V+V=3V

$3 C, 3 V$

$\frac{C}{3}, 3 V$

$3 C, \frac{V}{3}$

$\frac{C}{3}, \frac{V}{3}$

In series $C_{e ff} = C /3.$
Effective potential = $V + V + V = 3 V$
