Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Let the nodes in the circuit be labeled to identify the connections:
- Let the input terminal be Node A.
- Let the junction between and be Node X.
- The top wire connects Node A to the junction between and . Thus, this junction is also at the potential of Node A.
- The bottom wire connects Node X to the output terminal Node B, with capacitor in this path.
Based on these nodes, the connections of each capacitor are as follows:
- is connected between Node A and Node X.
- is connected between Node X and Node A.
- is connected between Node A and Node B.
- is connected between Node X and Node B.
We can now simplify the circuit step-by-step:
Capacitors and are in parallel between nodes A and X. Their equivalent capacitance is:
This equivalent capacitor is in series with (which is connected between X and B). The equivalent capacitance of this branch is:
Finally, this branch is in parallel with (which is connected directly between A and B). The total equivalent capacitance between A and B is:
