Three capacitors each of the capacity C are given. The resultant capacity 2/3 C can be obtained by using them_____________?
Correct answer: C. two in parallel and third in series with this combination
- A. all in series
- B. all in parallel
- C. two in parallel and third in series with this combination
- D. two in series and third in parallel across this combination
Explanation
Putting two capacitors in parallel gives 2C; connecting this combination in series with C gives (2C × C)/(2C + C) = 2C/3. Therefore, the required arrangement is option c.
