If three 15 uF capacitors are connected in series, the net capacitance is
Correct answer: A. 5 uF
- A. 5 uF
- B. 30 uF
- C. 45 uF
- D. 50 uF
Explanation
For three identical capacitors in series, the equivalent capacitance is one-third of a single capacitor: C = 15/3 = 5 μF. Series capacitance decreases, unlike parallel capacitance, which increases.
