Question 26
CapacitorsWhat is the resultant capacity of the circuit (Fig. 5) given above?
- A.1.5 μF
- B.18.0 μF
- C.6.0 μF
- D.6.8 μF
- E.8.83 μF
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (1.5 μF)
Explanation
The 1 μF and 5 μF in parallel make 6 μF. In series with the two 4 μF capacitors: 1/C = 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/4 = 2/3, so C = 1.5 μF.
