Question

A, B and C are three capacitors. If A and B are connected in series, the effective capacitance is \(6\mu F\). If B and C are connected in series, the effective capacitance is \(4\mu F\). If A and C are connected in series, the effective capacitance is \(3\mu F\). If these three capacitors are connected in parallel, the effective capacitance is:

• A. \(26\mu F\)
• B. \(36\mu F\)
• C. \(13\mu F\)
• D. \(32.4\mu F\)

Hint:

For capacitor series equations, substitute \[ x=\frac1A,\quad y=\frac1B,\quad z=\frac1C \] to convert nonlinear equations into linear ones.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
