Two capacitors connected in series C1: 100uF, 25V and C2: 300uF, 35V, both are supplied by E= 100V. Verify which capacitor will be damaged

Given Information:

Capacitor 1 = C₁ = 100 μF

Capacitor 2 = C₂ = 300 μF

Voltage rating of capacitor 1 = 25 V

Voltage rating of capacitor 2 = 35 V

Supply voltage = Vs = 100 V

Required Information:

Which capacitor will be damaged = ?

Capacitor 1 will get damaged

Explanation:

The given two capacitors are connected in series, the equivalent capacitance will be

The voltage across the capacitor 1 is

Since the voltage rating of capacitor 1 is 25 volts, it will get damaged because 75 volts are much greater as compared to its voltage rating.

The voltage across the capacitor 2 is

Since the voltage rating of capacitor 2 is 35 volts, it will not get damaged because 25 volts are less as compared to its voltage rating.

answer:

yes
