A capacitance of 2  μF is required in an electrical circuit across a potential difference of 1 . 0…
Solution

Let us assume that we connect (whole number) capacitors in series such that the potential difference across the combination is . This means the potential difference across each capacitor is
.
This means we need to connect at least capacitors in series to make sure that the potential across each one is less than .
