Each capacitor in the combination shown in the figure below (C = 11mF) has a breakdown voltage of 17.0 V. What is the breakdown voltage of the combination?
On either side of C is an equivalent capacitance of 40 mF (since these are parallel). I'm not certain where to go with this problem since the concept of "breakdown voltage" isn't in my book and it wasn't presented to us during class, unless he just called it something different. Could anyone provide a brief explanation of what that term describes?
