The equivalent capacitance between points A and B in below shown figure will be __________ μ F. Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Answer: 6. The wires make the first three 8 all lie between A and one node N: parallel, 24. The 4th and 5th capacitors form a closed loop hanging from N with no other connection, so they carry no charge. The last 8 is between N and B. CAB = (24× 8)/(32) = 6 Answer: 6 μ F

Combination of Capacitors

The equivalent capacitance between points A and B in below shown figure will be __________ $\mu$ F.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 6

The wires make the first three $8\ \mu\text{F}$ all lie between A and one node N: parallel, $24\ \mu\text{F}$ .
The 4th and 5th capacitors form a closed loop hanging from N with no other connection, so they carry no charge.
The last $8\ \mu\text{F}$ is between N and B.
$C_{AB} = \frac{24\times 8}{32} = 6\ \mu\text{F}$
Answer: 6 $\mu$ F
