KCET2018PhysicsCapacitance
For the arrangement of capacitors as shown in the circuit, the effective capacitance between the points ( A ) and ( B ) is (capacitance of each capacitor is ( 4 F ) )
Options
- A( 4 ~F )
- B( 2 F )
- C( 1 F )
- D( 8 F )
Correct answer
A. ( 4 ~F )
Step-by-step solution
The given arrangement of capacitors resembles Wheatstone Bridge and can be reduced to the following circuit: This can be further reduced as shown: Further reduction gives: Thus, effective capacitance between points ( A ) and ( B=4 F )
