Question 6

Capacitors

The total capacitance of the circuit below is

Diagram for this question
  1. A.0.25mF
  2. B.1.50mF
  3. C.0.75mF
  4. D.1.25mF.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (1.50mF)

Explanation

The three 2 mF capacitors in parallel give 6 mF. In series with 2 mF: C = (2 × 6)/(2 + 6) = 1.5 mF.
