Three capacitors each of capacity 4 are to be connected in such a way that the effective capacitance is 6 . This can be done by

  1. connecting all of them in series
  2. connecting them in parallel
  3. connecting two in series and one in parallel
  4. connecting two in parallel and one in series

Answer

(3) connecting two in series and one in parallel

Solution

All in series: 43 ; all in parallel: 12

Two in series: 4 44 + 4 = 2

⇒ This combination in parallel with the third: 2 + 4 = 6

(Two in parallel = 8 , in series with the third = 8 412 = 83 )

∴ Two in series and one in parallel give 6 .

Answer: (3)
