COMEDK · Physics · 18. Capacitance

Effective capacitance between \(A\) and \(B\) in the figure shown is (all capacitances are in \(\mu \mathrm{F}\) )

  1. A \(21 \mu \mathrm{F}\)
  2. B \(23 \mu \mathrm{F}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{14} \mu \mathrm{F}\)
  4. D \(\frac{14}{3} \mu \mathrm{F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{14}{3} \mu \mathrm{F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given combination is a balanced condition of Wheatstone bridge because potential at \(C\) and \(D\) points is same. Hence, the \(2 \mu \mathrm{F}\) capacitor can be neglected. The equivalent circuit is given by the figure below In the upper arm capacitors…
