. This can be done by connecting them Three capacitors each of 4 are to be connected in such a way that the effective capacitance is 6 . This can be done by

Three capacitors each of 4 are to be connected in such a way that the effective capacitance is 6 . This can be done by

Options

Aall in series
Ball in parallel
Ctwo in parallel and one in series
Dtwo in series and one in parallel

Correct answer

D. two in series and one in parallel

Step-by-step solution

For top branch,

\dfrac{1}{{C}_{eq}} = \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{4}

⇒ {C}_{eq} = 2\mu F

For parallel combination,

{C}_{net} = 2 + 4 = 6\mu F
