While working on a physics project at school physics lab, you require a 4μF capacitor in a circuit across a potential difference of 1kV. Unfortunately, 4μF capacitors are out of stock in your lab but 2μF capacitors which can withstand a potential difference of 400 V are available in plenty. If you decide to use the 2μF capacitors in place of 4μF capacitor, minimum number of capacitors required are
