Marks: +1, -0
You are given three capacitors of 2µF,3µF and 4µF, respectively.
(a) Form a combination of all these capacitors of equivalent capacitance 133µF.
(b) What is the maximum and minimum value of the equivalent capacitance that can be obtained by connecting these capacitors ?
Solution:
(a) 2µF and 4µF capacitors are to be connected in series. So, the effective capacitor will be
Ceff =2×42+4=43µF
With Ceff , the 3µF capacitor is to be connected in parallel. So, the equivalent capacitor will be
Ceqv =43+3=133µF
(b) Maximum value of capacitance may be obtained by connecting the capacitors in parallel. In that case, the equivalent capacitance will be, (2+3+4)= 10µF.
Minimum value of capacitance may be obtained by connecting the capacitors in series. In that case, the equivalent capacitance will be CS.
1CS=12+13+14=1312
∴CS=1213µF
