Three capacitors `2muF, 5muF and 10muF` are joined in (a) series, (b) paralle. Find the equivalent capacitance.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Series
Data supplied,
`C_(1)=2muF, C_(2)=5muF, C_(3)=10muF`
`1/C_(s)=1/C_(1)+1/C_(2)+1/C_(3)=1/2+1/5+1/10`
`C_(s)=1.25muF`
(b) Parallel
`C_(p)=C_(1)+C_(2)+C_(3)=2+5+10=17muF`
