Question

Four condensers are joined as shown in the adjoining figure. The capacity of each is $8\mu \text{F}$. The equivalent capacity between the points $A$ and $B$ will be :-

• A. $32\mu \text{F}$
• B. $2\mu \text{F}$
• C. $8\mu \text{F}$
• D. $16\mu \text{F}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $32\mu \text{F}$

The given circuit is,

Redrawing the circuit as,

Here, all four capacitors are connected in parallel.

Hence, $C_{AB}=4\times 8\mu \text{F}=32\mu \text{F}$
