Question

A 1 uF and a 2 uF capacitor are connected in series across a 1000 V supply. Find the voltage across each capacitor.
Options
A V1 = 667 V and V2 = 333 V
Correct Answer
B V1 = 250 V and V2 = 750 V
C V1 = 750 V and V2 = 250 V
D V1 = 1000 V and V2 = 1000 V
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Series C = 0.667 uF. Q = CV = 6.67x10-4 C. V1 = Q/C1 = 667 V, V2 = Q/C2 = 333 V.

Hint

Series C = 0.667 uF.
