The circuit is shown in the figure. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/3b1d2bd47240a52ae56779baccee2e7b-.png" /> As points a and b are at same potential, so no charge flows through a b Now two remaining capacitors are in parallel, hence Ce q=C+C=2 C =2 × 1=2 μ F

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

$2 μ F$

$3 μ F$

$1 μ F$

$0.5 μ F$

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 $C_{e q} = C + C = 2 C$
$= 2 \times 1 = 2 μ F$

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

2μF

3μF

1μF

0.5μF
