Combination of Capacitors

Which of the following combinations of 7 identical capacitors each of 2 μF2\ \mu\text{F} gives a resultant capacitance of 10/11 μF10/11\ \mu\text{F}?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. 5 in parallel: 10 μF10\ \mu\text{F}; then 2 of 2 μF2\ \mu\text{F} in series.
  2. 1C=110+22=1110\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{2}{2} = \frac{11}{10}.
  3. C=1011 μFC = \frac{10}{11}\ \mu\text{F}.
  4. So the answer is (d) 5 in parallel and 2 in series.
