Question

Calculate the effective capacitance across XY.

• A. $\frac{5}{8}C$
• B. $\frac{3}{5}C$
• C. $\frac{5}{3}C$
• D. $C$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{5}{3}C$

FOR IMAGE 01: The parallel combinations are:

$C_p=C+C=2C$

FOR IMAGE 02: The series combinations are:

$C_s=[\frac{C\times 2C}{C+2C}=\frac{2}{3}C]$

FOR IMAGE 03: The parallel combination are:

$C_{eq}=\frac{2}{3}C+C=\frac{5}{3}C$
