Four identical capacitors are connected ...

Four identical capacitors are connected such that, three capacitors are in parallel to which the fourth capacitor is connected in series. The effective capacity is `3.75muF`. What is the value of each capacitor?

A

`3muF`

B

`4muF`

C

`5muF`

D

`6muF`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

for 3 capacitors in series,
`C_(1)=3C and (1)/(3C)+(1)/(C)=(4)/(3C)`
`therefore`Resultant Capacity`=(3C)/(4)`
`therefore (3C)/(4)=(15)/(4) " "therefore C=5muF`
