Three parallel plate capacitors \(\mathrm{C}_1, \mathrm{C}_2\) and \(\mathrm{C}_3\) each of capacitance \(5 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) are connected as shown in figure. The effective capacitance between points A and B, when the space between the parallel plates of \(C_1\) capacitor is filled with a dielectric medium having dielectric constant of 4, is :

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(9 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

After dielectric
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{C}_1=4 \mathrm{C} \\
& \mathrm{C}_1=4 \times 5=20 \mu \mathrm{~F} \\
& \mathrm{C}_2=\mathrm{C}_3=5 \mu \mathrm{~F}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\mathrm{C}_1 \& \mathrm{C}_2\) are in series which is parallel to \(\mathrm{C}_3\) So
\(\begin{aligned}
& C_{c q}=\frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1+C_2}+C_3 \Rightarrow \frac{20 \times 5}{20+5}+5 \\
& =4+5=9 \mu \mathrm{~F}
\end{aligned}\)
