Question

By connecting two given capacitors, a technician was able to make two new capacitors having the effective capacitance \( 12.5\mu F \) and \( 2\mu F \). What would be the capacitance of the given capacitors?

• A. \( 8.5\mu F \) and \( 4\mu F \)
• B. \( 10\mu F \) and \( 2.5\mu F \)
• C. \( 6.5\mu F \) and \( 6\mu F \)
• D. \( 10.5\mu F \) and \( 2\mu F \)

Hint:

Parallel gives maximum capacitance, series gives minimum — use both to form equations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
