Five capacitors each of capacity C are connected as shown in figure. If their resultant capacity is 2, then the capacity of each condenser is (a) 5 μ F (b) 2 μ F (c) 2.5 μ F (d) 10 μ F

Answer: (d). All five capacitors lie in one chain from A to B, so they are in series: Ceq = C/5. C/5 = 2 ⇒ C = 10 So the answer is (d) 10 μ F.

Combination of Capacitors

Five capacitors each of capacity $C$ are connected as shown in figure. If their resultant capacity is $2\ \mu\text{F}$ , then the capacity of each condenser is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

All five capacitors lie in one chain from A to B, so they are in series: $C_{eq} = \frac{C}{5}$ .
$\frac{C}{5} = 2\ \mu\text{F} \Rightarrow C = 10\ \mu\text{F}$
So the answer is (d) 10 $\mu$ F.
