The two capacitors each of value 1.5 μ F are in parallel, so their equivalent capacitance. C1=1.5+1.5=3 μ F <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/d9ff9fd5d4ac1f8e7973a2a3719c41d8-.png" /> Now, three capacitors each of value 3 μ F are in series. Hence, their equivalent capacitance is given by (1/C)=(1/3)+(1/3)+(1/3) or (1/C)=(3/3) or C=1 μ F

Q. The equivalent capacitance between the points A and B in the following circuit is:

$1 μ F$

$2 μ F$

$4 μ F$

$8 μ F$

Q. The equivalent capacitance between the points A and B in the following circuit is:

The two capacitors each of value 1.5μF are in parallel, so their equivalent capacitance. C1​=1.5+1.5=3μF Now, three capacitors each of value 3μF are in series. Hence, their equivalent capacitance is given by C1​=31​+31​+31​ or C1​=33​ or C=1μF

$1 μ F$

$2 μ F$

$4 μ F$

$8 μ F$
