    Four capacitors are connected in a circuit as shown in the following figure. Calculate the effective capacitance between the points A and B.

    A)  \[\frac{4}{3}\mu F\]

    B)  \[\frac{24}{5}\mu F\]

    C)  \[9\,\mu F\]

    D)  \[5\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Effective capacitance of \[{{C}_{2}}\] and \[{{C}_{3}}\] \[\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[C=1\mu F\] 1 Now, \[{{C}_{1}}\] and C are in parallel, therefore effective capacitance \[C'\] \[C'=1+1=2\mu F\] Now, \[C'\] and \[{{C}_{4}}\] are in series, therefore, effective capacitance between points A and B \[\frac{1}{C''}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[C''=\frac{4}{3}\mu F\]
