Three parallel plate capacitors of capacitances \(4 \mu \mathrm{~F}\), \(6 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) and \(12 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) are first connected in series and then in parallel. The ratio of the effective capacitances in the two cases is

  1. A \(1: 11\)
  2. B \(5: 8\)
  3. C \(3: 7\)
  4. D \(4: 9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 11\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For parallel combination of capacitors, \(C_p=C_1+C_2+C_3=4+6+12=22 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) For series combination of capacitors,…
