Question

The equivalent capacity between the points X and Y in the circuit with C = 1 μ F is (A) 2 μ F (B) 1 μ F (C) 3 μ F (D) 0.5 μ F

The circuit is shown in the figure. As points a and b are at same potential, so no charge flows through ab. Now two remaining capacitors are in parallel, hence C eq = C+ C = 2C = 2 × 1 = 2 μ F

Q. The equivalent capacity between the points X and Y in the circuit with $C = 1 μ F$ is

$2 μ F$

$1 μ F$

$3 μ F$

$0.5 μ F$

The circuit is shown in the figure.
As points a and b are at same potential, so no charge flows through ab.
Now two remaining capacitors are in parallel, hence
$C_{e q} = C + C = 2 C$
$= 2 \times 1 = 2 μ F$
