KCET2023PhysicsCapacitance
Five capacitance each of value l F are connected as shown in the figure. The equivalent capacitance between A and B is
Options
- A3 F
- B1 F
- C2 F
- D5 F
Correct answer
B. 1 F
Step-by-step solution
Since, the middle branch conducts no current, therefore the middle capacitor represents open circuit and hence reduced circuit is shown. aligned & Now 1 C_ series = 1 1 + 1 1 & C_ series =0.5 F & C_ parallel =0.5+0.5 & or & C_ A B =1 F & aligned
