The capacitances of three capacitors are in the ratio 2:3:4. Their equivalent capacitance in parallel combination is more than the equivalent capacitance in series combination by (21/26) pF. The capacitances of the capacitors are, respectively:

  1. A 2.0 pF, 3.0 pF and 4.0 pF
  2. B 0.2 pF, 0.3 pF and 0.4 pF
  3. C 10 pF, 15 pF and 20 pF
  4. D 0.4 pF, 0.3 pF and 0.2 pF
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.2 pF, 0.3 pF and 0.4 pF

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( C_1=2x, C_2=3x, C_3=4x \) \( C_p = C_1+C_2+C_3 = 2x+3x+4x = 9x \) \( \frac{1}{C_s} = \frac{1}{2x}+\frac{1}{3x}+\frac{1}{4x} = \frac{6+4+3}{12x} = \frac{13}{12x} \Rightarrow C_s = \frac{12x}{13} \) \( C_p - C_s = \frac{21}{26} \Rightarrow 9x - \frac{12x}{13} = \frac{21}{26} \)…
