Three capacitors of capacities 2muF,3muF...

Three capacitors of capacities `2muF,3muF` and `6muF` are connected in series. Determine the effective capacity of the combination.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, capacitors of capacitance `2muF,3muF` and `6muF` are in series combination.
So, `(1)/(C_("eq"))=(1)/(C_(1))+(1)/(C_(2))+(1)/(C_(3))`
`=1/2+1/3+1/6=(3+2+1)/(6)=1`
`:." "C_("eq")=1muF`
