The equivalent capacitance between $A$ and $B$ in the circuit is given below.

Options

A $3 . 6\mu F$
B $2 . 4\mu F$
C $4 . 9$ $\muF$
D $5 . 4$ $\muF$

Correct answer

B. $2 . 4\mu F$

Step-by-step solution

Simplified circuit, The equivalent capacitance between A and B in the circuit is given below.

$⇒ \dfrac{1}{{C}_{eq}} = \dfrac{1}{6} + \dfrac{1}{12} + \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{5}{12} ⇒ {C}_{eq} = \dfrac{12}{5} = 2.4\muF$
