Four capacitors are connected inseries a battery of emf `10 V` as shown in the figure. The point `P` is earthed. The potential of point `A` is equal in magnitude to potetial of points `B` but opposite in sign is

A

`C_1+C_2+C_3=C_4`

B

`1/C_1+1/C_2+1/C_3=1/C_4`

C

`(C_1C_2C_3)/(C_1^2+C_2^2+C_3^2)=C_4`

D

its is never possible

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Net capacitance between points `A` and `P` will be equal to the net capacitance between points `P` and `B`.
