All six capacitors shown are identical, Each can withstand maximum 200 volts between its terminals. The maximum voltage that can be safely applied between A and B is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Given circuit can be reduced as follows
(C = capacitance of each capacitor)
The capacitor 3C, 3C shown in figure can with stand maximum 200 V.
∴ ∴ So maximum voltage that can be applied across A and B equally shared. Hence maximum voltage applied cross A and B be equally shared. Hence max. voltage applied across A and B will be (200 + 200) = 400 volt.
