You are given three capacitors of 2 µ F , 3 µ F 4 µ F
(a) Form a combination of all these capacitors of equivalent capacitance
µ F
(b) What is the maximum and minimum value of the equivalent capacitance that can be obtained by connecting these capacitors ?
(a) Form a combination of all these capacitors of equivalent capacitance
(b) What is the maximum and minimum value of the equivalent capacitance that can be obtained by connecting these capacitors ?
Solution:
(a) 2 µ F 4 µ F
C eff =
=
µ F
WithC eff 3 µ F
C eqv =
+ 3 =
µ F
(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 ) = 10 µ F
Minimum value of capacitance may be obtained by connecting the capacitors in series. In that case, the equivalent capacitance will beC S
=
+
+
=
∴ C S =
µ F
With
(b) Maximum value of capacitance may be obtained by connecting the capacitors in parallel. In that case, the equivalent capacitance will be,
Minimum value of capacitance may be obtained by connecting the capacitors in series. In that case, the equivalent capacitance will be
