Question : 17
Total: 26
(i) Find equivalent capacitance between A and B in the combination given below. Each capacitor is of 2µF capacitance.

(ii) If a dc source of 7V is connected across AB, how much charge is drawn from the source and what is energy stored in the network?
Solution:  
(i) Calculation of equivalent capacitance
(ii) Calculation of charge and energy stored
(i) Capacitors C2,C3 and C4 are in parallel
∴‌C234=C2+C3+C4
∴‌C234=6µF
Capacitors C1,C234 and C5 are in series
