Four capacitors are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure. The effective capacitance in \[\mu F\]between points A and B will be [MP PET 1996; Pb. PMT 2001; DPMT 2003]
A) \[\frac{28}{9}\]
B) 4
C) 5
D) 18
Correct Answer:
C
Solution :
The circuit can be rearranged as Net capacitance between \[AB=\frac{4\times 12}{4+12}+2=5\,\mu F\]
