NEET2010PhysicsCapacitanceActual
Three capacitors of capacitances 1 F , 2 F and 4 F are connected first in a series combination, and then in a parallel combination. The ratio of their equivalent capacitances will be
Options
- A2:49
- B49:2
- C4:49
- D49:4
Correct answer
C. 4:49
Step-by-step solution
In series combination, 1 C₁ = 1 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 = 4+2+1 4 = 7 4 C₁= 4 7 F In parallel combination, aligned & C₁=1+2+4=7 F & C₁ C₂ = 4 / 7 7 = 4 49 aligned
