Combination of Capacitors

If the equivalent capacitance between points A and B of the combination of capacitors shown in figure, is 6C, the capacitor C′C' is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. 2C,3C,4C2C, 3C, 4C in parallel: 9C9C, in series with C′C'.
  2. 9C⋅C′9C+C′=6C⇒9C′=54C+6C′\frac{9C\cdot C'}{9C + C'} = 6C \Rightarrow 9C' = 54C + 6C'.
  3. C′=18CC' = 18C. So the answer is (c) 18C18C.
