Three capacitors `C_1 = 3muF, C_2 = 6muF and C_3 = 10muF` are connected to a 50 V battery as shown in the figure below:

Calculate :
The equivalent capacitance of the circuit between points A and B.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


The capacitances `C_1 and C_2` are connected in series, so their equivalent capacitance C. is given by
`1/(C.)=1/3+1/6`
`impliesC.=6/3=2muF`
Now, C. and `C_3` are in parallel.
`C_(eq) = C.+ C_3= 2 + 10`
`=12 muF`
