Combination of Capacitors

Seven capacitors each of capacitance 2 μF2\ \mu\text{F} are to be connected in a configuration to obtain an effective capacitance (1011)μF\left(\frac{10}{11}\right)\mu\text{F}. The combination is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Option (a): 5 in parallel give 10 μF10\ \mu\text{F}, followed by two 2 μF2\ \mu\text{F} in series.
  2. 1C=110+12+12=1110\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{10}.
  3. C=1011 μFC = \frac{10}{11}\ \mu\text{F}.
  4. So the answer is (a).
