In figure C 1 = 2 µF C 2 = 6 µF & C 3 = 3.5 µF. If break down voltages of the individual capacitors are V 1 = 100 V, V 2 = 50V & V 3 = 400 V. Maximum voltage can be placed across points a & b is ----× 
volt .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
4
(4)
Sol.
V 1 = 
= 
V 2 = 
Now 
< 100 ⇒ V < 
< 50 ⇒ V < 200 V
V < 400 ⇒ V < 400
Common solution V <
