Question

Six capacitors each of capacitance of $2\mu F$ are connected as shown in the figure. The effective capacitance between $A$ and $B$ is:

• A. $12\mu F$
• B. $\frac{8}{3}\mu F$
• C. $6\mu F$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}\mu F$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $12\mu F$

All six capacitors are connected in parallel across the terminal $A$ and $B$.

Therefore, the equivalent capacitance is given by,

$C_{eq}=(2+2+2+2+2+2)\mu F$

$C_{eq}=12\mu F.$
