Question

Three capacitors each of 6 μF are connected: two in series, then in parallel with the third. Equivalent capacitance is:
  1. A
    9 μF
    Correct
  2. B
    3 μF
  3. C
    2 μF
  4. D
    18 μF

Correct answer

9 μF

Explanation

Two in series: 6×6/(6+6) = 3 μF. Then parallel with 6 μF: 3+6 = 9 μF.
