Six capacitors each of capacitance of `2muF` are connected as shown in the figure. The effective capacitance between `A` and `B` is:

Options

A. `12 muF`
B. `8//3 muF`
C. `3 muF`
D. `6 muF`

Answer

A

Explanation

The given circuit can be redrawn as shown below.

As P and Q are parallel.
`therefore` Its equivalent reisistance is 2C.
Similarly, for T and V also.
Total capacitance
`2C + 2C + C + C = 6C`
`C = 2muF`
`therefore` Total capacitance ` = 6 xx 2muF`
` = 12muF`
