JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

In the circuit shown, find \(C\) if the effective capacitance of the whole circuit is to be \(0.5\,\mu F.\) All values in the circuit are in \(\mu F.\)

  1. A \(\frac{7}{{11}}\mu F\)
  2. B \(\frac{6}{{5}}\mu F\)
  3. C \(4\,\mu F\)
  4. D \(\frac{7}{{10}}\mu F\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{7}{{11}}\mu F\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}}=0.5\, \mu \mathrm{F}=\frac{\left(1+\frac{4}{3}\right) \mathrm{C}}{\frac{7}{3}+\mathrm{C}}=\frac{7 \mathrm{C}}{\frac{7}{3}+\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{14 \mathrm{C}}{3}=\mathrm{C}+\frac{7}{3}\) \(C=\frac{7}{11}\)
