Three capacitors `2, 3` and `6 mF` are joined in series with each other. What is the minimum effective capacitance

A

`(1)/(2)muF`

B

`1 muF`

C

`2 muF`

D

`3 muF`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(1)/(C_(eq)) = (1)/(C_(1)) + (1)/(C_(2)) + (1)/(C_(3))`
`= (1)/(2)+(1)/(3)+(1)/(6)`
`= (3+2+1)/(6) = (6)/(6) = 1 muF`
