A0.5 μf and a 11 μf capacitors are connected in series. then the pair are connected in parallel with a 1.5 μf capacitor. what is the equivalent capacitance? give answer in terms of mf.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance 1,

Capacitance 2,

Capacitance 3,

C₁ and C₂ are connected in series. Their equivalent is given by :

Now C' and C₃ are connected in parallel. So, the final equivalent capacitance is given by :

So, the equivalent capacitance of the combination is 1.97 micro farad. Hence, this is the required solution.

option number c is the right answer.
