Question 665: Electrostatics & Capacitance

Question

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

Accepted Answer

For series,
$$C' = {{{C_1} 	imes {C_2}} \over {{C_1} + {C_2}}} = {{4 	imes 4} \over {4 + 4}} = 2\mu F$$
For parallel
$${C_{eq}} = C' + {C_3} = 2 + 4 = 6\mu F$$
