1. Problem Statement
Some capacitors are marked 48uF, safe working voltage 25V.
Show how a number of these capacitors may be connected to provide a capacitor of capacitance:
a) 48uF, safe wroking voltage 50V
b) 72uF, safe working voltage 25V
obviously C total in parallel = c1 + C2... and 1 / C total in series = 1/ C1 + 1 / C2
3. Attempt at the Solution
for part a) i thought you could have two of the capacitors in parallel, followed in series by another two capacitors in parallel for b) i didnt really have a clue, but perhaps two in series? (im probably wrong!)
the answers state that for part a) "two capacitors in series", such that V < 25V across each capacitor.
for part b)"two capacitors in parallel with a single capacitor"
what is the safe working voltage??
