Two capacitances of capacity $C_1$ and $C_2$ are connected in series and a potential difference $V$ is applied across the combination. The potential difference across $C_1$ will be:

  • A
    $V \frac{C_2}{C_1}$
  • B
    $V \frac{C_1 + C_2}{C_1}$
  • C
    $V \frac{C_2}{C_1 + C_2}$
  • D
    $V \frac{C_1}{C_1 + C_2}$
