The equivalent capacitance between AA and BB in the circuit given below is: The equivalent capacitance between A and B in the circuit given below is:

Options

  1. A4.9μF4.9 \mu \mathrm{F}
  2. B3.6μF3.6 \mu \mathrm{F}
  3. C5.4μF5.4 \mu \mathrm{F}
  4. D2.4μF2.4 \mu \mathrm{F}

Correct answer

D. 2.4μF2.4 \mu \mathrm{F}

Step-by-step solution

The simplified circuit of the circuit given in question as follows: The equivalent capacitance between A and B in the circuit given below is:
The equivalent capacitance between C \& D capacitors of 2μF,5μF2 \mu \mathrm{F}, 5 \mu \mathrm{F} and 5μF5 \mu \mathrm{F} are in parallel. ∴CCD=2+5+5=12μF(∵\therefore \quad \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{CD}}=2+5+5=12 \mu \mathrm{F}(\because In parallel grouping Ceq=C1+C2+….+Cn\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\mathrm{C}_1+\mathrm{C}_2+\ldots .+\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}} ) Similarly equivalent capacitance between E\mathrm{E} &BCEB\& \mathrm{BC}_{\mathrm{EB}} =4+2=6μF=4+2=6 \mu \mathrm{F} Now equivalent capacitance between A \& B 1Ceq=16+112+16=512\frac{1}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{12} ⇒Ceq=125=2.4μF(∵\Rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{12}{5}=2.4 \mu \mathrm{F}(\because In series grouping, 1Ceq=1C1+1C2+………+1Cn\frac{1}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{C}_1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{C}_2}+\ldots \ldots \ldots+\frac{1}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{n}}} )
