Three identical capacitors each of capac...

Three identical capacitors each of capacitance C are connected in series and this connection is connected in parallel with one such more identical capacitor. Then, the capacitance of the whole combination is

A

3C

B

`4C//3`

C

`3C//4`

D

2C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`C_(1)=C_(2)=C_(3)=C_(4)=C`
`C_(s)=C/3`
`"Now"" "C_(p)=C+C_(s)=C+C/3=(4C)/3`
