Four condensers having capacities 2pF, 3pF, 4pF and 6pF are connected in series. The equivalent capacity of the combination is

A

8.0 pF

B

0.8 pF

C

1.8 pF

D

0.4 pF

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`1/C_(S)=1/C_(1)+1/C_(2)+1/C_(3)+1/C_(4)`
`=1/2+1/3+1/4+1/6`
`therefore" "C_(S)=0.8pF.`
