Question

Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure. Their capacities are indicated in the figure. The effective capacitance between points $x$ and $y$ is (in $\mu F$ )

• A. $\frac{5}{6}$
• B. $\frac{7}{6}$
• C. $\frac{8}{3}$
• D. 2

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The given circuit can be simplified as follows:

$\Rightarrow C_{x y}=\frac{2}{3}+2$
$=\frac{8}{3}\, \mu F$
