The correct Answer is:
To find the resultant capacitance of three capacitors connected in series, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for capacitors in series The formula for the equivalent capacitance (C_eq) of capacitors connected in series is given by: \[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3} \] where \(C_1\), \(C_2\), and \(C_3\) are the capacitances of the individual capacitors. ### Step 2: Identify the values of the capacitors In this case, each capacitor has a capacitance of \(2 \mu F\): - \(C_1 = 2 \mu F\) - \(C_2 = 2 \mu F\) - \(C_3 = 2 \mu F\) ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting the values into the formula, we get: \[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{2 \mu F} + \frac{1}{2 \mu F} + \frac{1}{2 \mu F} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation This can be simplified as: \[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the equivalent capacitance Now, taking the reciprocal to find \(C_{eq}\): \[ C_{eq} = \frac{2}{3} \mu F \] ### Step 6: Convert to Farads To convert microfarads to farads, we use the conversion factor \(1 \mu F = 10^{-6} F\): \[ C_{eq} = \frac{2}{3} \times 10^{-6} F \] ### Final Result Thus, the resultant capacitance is: \[ C_{eq} = \frac{2}{3} \times 10^{-6} F \approx 0.6667 \times 10^{-6} F \] or approximately \(0.6667 \mu F\). ---
