The capacitance of an infinitance of an ...

The capacitance of an infinitance of an inginter cricuit formed by the repetition of the same link consesting of two identical capacitors, each with capacitance `C` , is
.

A

`zero`

B

`(sqrt5-1)/2C`

C

`(sqrt5+1)/2C`

D

infinite

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Let capacitance between `A` and `B` be `x`. If we remove the first two capacitors. Then capacitance across `D` and `E` will also be `x` So the circuit can be redrawn as follows:
.
`x=(C(C+x))/(C+(C+x))`
Solve to get `x=(sqrt5-1)/2C`.
