The network of six capacitors is as shown in figure. The equivalent capacitance between A and B is
Options
- A2 C 3
- B4 C 3
- C2C
- D3C
Correct answer
D. 3C
Step-by-step solution
Consider the following diagram with nodes Q having same potential due to the symmetry of the circuit: Taking the similar nodes together the equivalent diagram can be drawn as: Therefore, the eqiuvalent capacitance between AQ =3 C+2 C+C=6 C the equivalent capacitance between QB =3 C+2 C+C=6 C Now, for equivalent capacitance between A B aligned & 1 C_ AB = 1 6 C + 1 6 C = 1 3 C & C_ AB =3 C aligned
