RE: Cap question.

["Pete Komen" <pkomen-at-xxxxxxxxxx> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-xxxxxxxxxx>)]

I don't remember the formulas or the numbers but what happens with a small
capacitance in series with a large capacitance is that the small capacitance
charges to a large voltage long before the large capacitance is gets much
voltage at all.  Likely under your example the small cap would blow.
