Three capacitors each of capacity 4 muF ...

Three capacitors each of capacity `4 muF` are to be connected in such a way that the effective capacitance is `6 muF`. This can be done by

A

connecting them in series

B

connecting them is parallel

C

connecting two in serries and one in parallel

D

connecting two in parallel and one is series

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
To get equivalentcapacitance `6 muF` tow `4 muF` capacitors are the to be connected in series and third one is connected in parallel.
From figure equivalent capacit `C_(eq) = (4xx 4)/(4+4) + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6 muF`
