Three capacitors each of \(4\,\,\mu F\) are to be connected in such a way that the effective capacitance is \(6\,\,\mu F.\) This can be done by connecting thern
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) two in series and one in parallel
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
To get effective capacitance of \(6\,\mu F\) two capacitors of \(4\, \mu \mathrm{F}\) each connected in series and one of \(4\, \mu \mathrm{F}\) capacitor in parallel with them.
Two capacitances in series
\(\therefore \frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(1\) capacitor in parallel
\(\therefore \) \(C_{\mathrm{eq}}=C_{3}+C=4+2=6\, \mu \mathrm{F}\)
