Three capacitors of capacitance, \( 3 \, \mu \text{F}, 9 \, \mu \text{F} \) and \( 18 \, \mu \text{F} \) respectively are connected once in series and then in parallel. The ratio of equivalent capacitance in series to parallel is :

  1. A \(1:15\)
  2. B \(15:1\)
  3. C \(1:1\)
  4. D \(1:3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1:15\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{C_s} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{6+2+1}{18} = \frac{9}{18} \Rightarrow C_s = 2 \, \mu \text{F} \) \( C_p = 3 + 9 + 18 = 30 \, \mu \text{F} \) \( C_s : C_p = 2 : 30 = 1 : 15 \)
