Two capacitors 
and 
are connected in parallel. A third capacitor of 
capacity is connected in series. The combination is connected across a 12 V battery. The voltage across a 
capacitor is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The simplified circuit will be as under.
The potential drop 12 V will be equally distributed.
Potential difference across capacitor of 
is 6 V. So, the voltage across a 
capacitor is 6 V.
