Find the equivalent capacitance, Ceq, at the terminals a-b of the circuit

Find the equivalent capacitance, Ceq, at the terminals a-b of the circuit Find the equivalent capacitance, Ceq, at the terminals a-b of the circuit

Right Answer is:

20 µF

SOLUTION

As shown in the figure the capacitor 5 µF and 20 µF are connected in series therefore its equivalent capacitance

= (5 × 20)/(5 + 20) = 4µF

Find the equivalent capacitance, Ceq, at the terminals a-b of the circuit

Now capacitance 4µF, 6µF & 20 µF are connected in parallel

= 4 + 6 + 20 = 30 µF

At last 30 µF and 60 µF capacitors is connected in series

Ceq = (30 × 60)/(30 + 60) = 20 µF
