Question

Three capacitors $2\mu F,3\mu F$ and $5\mu F$ are connected in parallel. The capacitance of the combination:

• A. $\frac{30}{31}\mu F$
• B. $\frac{31}{30}\mu F$
• C. $10\mu F$
• D. $2.5\mu F$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$10\mu F$

When connected in parallel ,
$C_{eff}=C_1+C_2+C_3$
$C_{eff}=2+3+5$
$C_{eff}=10\mu F$
