Options
- A(A) (I), (B) (II), (C) (III), (D) (IV)
- B(A) (II), (B) (I), (C) (III), (D) (IV)
- C(A) (II), (B) (IV), (C) (I), (D) (III)
- D(A) (II), (B) (I), (C) (IV), (D) (III)
Correct answer
D. (A) (II), (B) (I), (C) (IV), (D) (III)
Step-by-step solution
(A) For three identical capacitors in series, the equivalent capacitance C_s is given by: 1 C_s = 1 C + 1 C + 1 C = 3 C C_s = C 3 (B) For three identical capacitors in parallel, the equivalent capacitance C_p is: C_p = C + C + C = 3C (C) For two capacitors in series, their equivalent is C 2 . When connected in parallel with the third capacitor, the total equivalent capacitance is: C_ eq = C 2 + C = 3C 2 (D) For two capacitors in parallel, their equivalent is 2C . When connected in series with the third capacitor, t
