Question
Two capacitors each having capacitance C and breakdown voltage V are joined in series. The capacitance and the breakdown voltage of the combination will be:

  1. $\text{2C}\ \text{and}\ \text{2V}$

  2. $\frac{\text{C}}{2}\ \text{and}\ \frac{\text{V}}{2}$

  3. $\text{2C}\ \text{and}\ \frac{\text{V}}{2}$

  4. $\frac{\text{C}}{2}\ \text{and}\ \text{2V}$

Answer

  1. $\frac{\text{C}}{2}\ \text{and}\ \text{2V}$

Explanation:

Since the voltage gets added up when the capacitors are connected in series, the voltage of the combination is 2V.

Also, the capacitance of a series combination is given by

$\frac{1}{\text{C}_{\text{net}}}=\frac{1}{\text{C}_1}+\frac{1}{\text{C}_2}$

Here,

C​net​ = Net capacitance of the combination

$\text{C}_1=\text{C}_2=\text{C}$

$\therefore\text{C}_{\text{net}}=\frac{\text{C}}{2}$

Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at $0.00 cm$ and the right one at $90.00 cm$. When you attempt to move both the fingers slowly towards the center, initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance, the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance $x_R$ from the center ( $50.00 cm$ ) of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are $0.40$ and $0.32$ , respectively, the value of $x_R($ in $cm )$ is. . . . . . .
