Question 498: Electrostats & Capacitance

Question

When three capacitors of equal capacities are connected in parallel and one of the same capacity, capacitor is connected in series with the combination. The resultant capacity is $4.5 \mu \mathrm{~F}$. The capacity of each capacitor is

Accepted Answer

$$\begin{aligned}
& C_{e q}=\frac{3 C 	imes C}{3 C+C}=\frac{3 C^2}{4 C} \
& C_{e q}=\frac{3 C}{4} \
	herefore \quad & C=\frac{4 C_{e q}}{3}=\frac{4 	imes 4.5}{3}=6 \mu \mathrm{~F}
\end{aligned}$$
