Three capacitors of capacitance `C_(1)= 3mu f, C_(2)= 6mu f and C_(3)= 10mu f`, are connected to a 10V battery as shown in Figure 3 below

Calculate:
Equivalent capacitance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equivalent capacitance of capacitors `3mu F and 6mu F` connected in series is
`C.= (C_(1)C_(2))/(C_(1)+ C_(2))= (3 xx 6)/(3+6)mu F= 2muF`
C. and `(C_(3)= 10 muF)` are connected in parallel and their equivalent capacitance is `C= C. + C_(3)= (2 + 10) mu F= 12muF`
