Combination of Capacitors

Three identical capacitors of capacitance 'CC' each are connected in series and this connection is connected in parallel with one more such identical capacitor. Then the capacitance of whole combination is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Three CC in series give Cs=C3C_s = \frac{C}{3}.
  2. This is in parallel with one more CC: Ceq=C3+C=43CC_{eq} = \frac{C}{3} + C = \frac{4}{3}C.
  3. So the answer is (c) 43C\frac{4}{3}C.
