    Four \[10\,\,\mu F\] capacitors are connected to a \[500\,\,V\] supply as shown in the figure. The equivalent capacitance of the network is :

    A) \[40\,\,\mu F\]                

    B) \[20\,\,\mu F\]

    C) \[13.3\,\,\mu F\]                             

    D) \[10\,\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The given circuit consists of three capacitors in series, connected to fourth capacitor in parallel. \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{C}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{3}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{C}_{1}}=\frac{10}{3}\mu F\] This is in parallel to \[10\mu F\] capacitor, hence,                 \[{{C}_{2}}=\frac{10}{3}+10=\frac{40}{3}=13.3\,\,\mu F\]
