The correct Answer is:
To find the equivalent capacitance between points A and B, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Configuration of Capacitors In the given circuit, we have three capacitors, each with a capacitance of 1 microfarad (μF), connected between points A and B. ### Step 2: Determine the Type of Connection Since all three capacitors are connected directly between the same two points (A and B), they are in parallel. In a parallel configuration, the voltage across each capacitor is the same. ### Step 3: Use the Formula for Equivalent Capacitance in Parallel The formula for calculating the equivalent capacitance (C_eq) of capacitors in parallel is: \[ C_{eq} = C_1 + C_2 + C_3 + ... \] where \( C_1, C_2, C_3, ... \) are the capacitances of the individual capacitors. ### Step 4: Substitute the Values For our case, we have: - \( C_1 = 1 \, \mu F \) - \( C_2 = 1 \, \mu F \) - \( C_3 = 1 \, \mu F \) Thus, substituting these values into the formula gives: \[ C_{eq} = 1 \, \mu F + 1 \, \mu F + 1 \, \mu F = 3 \, \mu F \] ### Step 5: Conclusion The equivalent capacitance between points A and B is: \[ C_{eq} = 3 \, \mu F \] ### Final Answer: The equivalent capacitance between A and B is **3 microfarads (μF)**. ---
