Figure shows a network of five capacitors connected to a supply voltage 'V'. The equivalent capacitance and the energy stored in the network is respectively
Options
- A4C , 2CV^2
- B6C , 3CV^2
- C9C , 4CV^2
- D11C , 9CV^2
Correct answer
A. 4C , 2CV^2
Step-by-step solution
Let the positive terminal of the battery be connected to node A and the negative terminal to node C. Let the top wire be node B. From the given circuit diagram, we can identify the connections of each capacitor: The top 3C capacitor is connected between nodes A and B. The vertical 3C capacitor is connected between nodes A and B. The middle horizontal 2C capacitor is connected between nodes A and C. The vertical 1C capacitor is connected between nodes B and C. The rightmost vertical 2C capacitor is connected between
