COMEDK · Physics · 18. Capacitance

In the figure below, the capacitance of each capacitor is \(3 \mu \mathrm{F}\). The effective capacitance between \(A\) and \(B\) is

  1. A \(\frac{3}{4} \mu \mathrm{F}\)
  2. B \(3 \mu \mathrm{F}\)
  3. C \(6 \mu \mathrm{F}\)
  4. D \(5 \mu \mathrm{F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \mu \mathrm{F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From figure, \(C_1=C_2=C_3=C_4=3 \mu \mathrm{F} \quad (given)\) \(\because C_4\) and \(C_3\) are in parallel, i.e. \(C_{\text {eq }}=C_4+C_3=(3+3) \mu \mathrm{F}=6 \mu \mathrm{F}\) Now arrangement of capacitors will be as follows \(\because C_1\) is in parallel with the series…
