Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is given by the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances. The total capacitance is approximately 0.022 µF. The voltage drop across each capacitor in series is proportional to its capacitance, so each 0.047 µF capacitor drops approximately 11.9 V.
