Five capacitors, each of capacitance 'C' are connected as shown in the figure. The ratio of equivalent capacitance between P and R and the equivalent capacitance between P and Q is
Options
- A1:4
- B2:3
- C3:1
- D5:2
Correct answer
B. 2:3
Step-by-step solution
Equivalent capacitance between P and R: There are two parallel paths from P to R. The path P-Q-R consists of two series capacitors, with equivalent capacitance C 2 . The path P-T-S-R consists of three series capacitors, with equivalent capacitance C 3 . Combining these in parallel gives C_ PR = C 2 + C 3 = 5C 6 . Equivalent capacitance between P and Q: There are two parallel paths from P to Q. The direct path is a single capacitor C. The alternate path P-T-S-R-Q consists of four series capacitors, with equivalent c
