Question

The capacitors shown in the diagram have capacity $10\mu \text{F}$ each. What is the equivalent capacitance between $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ ?

• A. $0$
• B. $5\mu \text{F}$
• C. $20\mu \text{F}$
• D. $2.5\mu \text{F}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0$

The potential difference across each capacitor is zero due to the presence of conducting wire across them. Thus, the effective capacitance is $0$.
