When two identical capacitors are in series have `3 muF` capacitance and when parallel `12 muF`. What is the capacitance of each capacitor ?

A

`6 muF`

B

`3 muF`

C

`12 muF`

D

`9 muF`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In series `C' = C//n i.e., C = nC' = 2 xx 3 = 6 muF`
In parallel `C' = nC i.e., C = (C')/(n) = (12)/(2) = 6muF`
