STANDARD Physics Capacitors MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium
Three capacitors each of capacity 4 μF are to be connected in such a way that the effective capacitance is 6 μF. This can be done by
A
connecting them in series
B
connecting them in parallel
C
connecting two in series and one in parallel
D
connecting two in parallel and one in series
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
To get equivalent capacitance 6 μF, two 4 μF capacitors are to be connected in series and the third one is connected in parallel. From the figure, equivalent capacitance, C_eq = 1/(1/4 + 1/4) + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6 μF.
