    In a given network capacitor \[{{C}_{1}}=10\,\,\mu F,\,\,{{C}_{2}}=\mu F,\], and\[{{C}_{3}}=4\,\,\mu F\]. The equivalent capacitance between \[PQ\] will be

    A) \[1.6\,\,\mu F\]                               

    B) \[3.2\,\,\mu F\]

    C) \[6.4\,\,\mu F\]                               

    D) \[4.5\,\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Capacitance \[{{C}_{1}}\] and \[{{C}_{2}}\] are connected in parallel. Hence, the equivalent capacitance \[{{C}_{eq}}={{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}=5+10=15\,\,\mu F\] As \[{{C}_{eq}}\] and \[{{C}_{3}}\] are connected in series Hence, effective capacitance between \[P\] and \[Q\] is given by \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{eff}}}=\frac{1}{{{C}_{eq}}}+\frac{1}{{{C}_{3}}}=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{19}{60}\] \[{{C}_{eff}}=\frac{60}{19}\approx 3.2\,\,\mu F\]
