COMEDK2023PhysicsCapacitance
In the figure below, the capacitance of each capacitor is 3 F . The effective capacitance between A and B is
Options
- A3 4 F
- B3 F
- C6 F
- D5 F
Correct answer
D. 5 F
Step-by-step solution
From figure, C₁=C₂=C₃=C₄=3 F (given) C₄ and C₃ are in parallel, i.e. C_ eq =C₄+C₃=(3+3) F =6 F Now arrangement of capacitors will be as follows C₁ is in parallel with the series combination of C₂ and C_ eq ^ . C_ eq ^ between A and B= (C₂ C_ eq ^ ) C₂+C_ eq ^ +C₁ ( 3 6 3+6 )+3=5 F
