Problem

Three identical capacitors, each of capacitance CC, are arranged such that two of them are connected in parallel and this combination is connected in series with the third capacitor. If the arrangement is connected to a battery of emf VV, the potential difference across the parallel pair is (a) VV (b) V3\dfrac{V}{3} (c) V2\dfrac{V}{2} (d) 2V3\dfrac{2V}{3}
