JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - Electric potential and capacitance
- JEE Mains 2019
- Hard
- MCQ
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 \(\mu F.\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{7}{{11}}\mu F\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}}=0.5\, \mu \mathrm{F}=\frac{\left(1+\frac{4}{3}\right) \mathrm{C}}{\frac{7}{3}+\mathrm{C}}=\frac{7 \mathrm{C}}{\frac{7}{3}+\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{14 \mathrm{C}}{3}=\mathrm{C}+\frac{7}{3}\)
\(C=\frac{7}{11}\)
