IMPORTANT

An electrical technician requires a capacitance of 2 μF in a circuit across a potential difference of 1kV. A large number of 1 μF capacitors are available with him. Each of which can withstand a potential difference of not more than, 400 V. Suggest a possible arrangement that requires minimum number of capacitors to achieve the required combination.
