Question:
Calculate the equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1
a) 0.01 μF
b) 0.58 μF
c) 0.060 μF
d) 0.8 μF
Answer:
The equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1 is 0.060 μF
Therefore, the correct option is (c)
Explanation:
Please refer to the attached Figure 12-1 where three capacitors are connected in series.
We are asked to find out the equivalent capacitance of this circuit.
Recall that the equivalent capacitance in series is given by
Where C₁, C₂, and C₃ are the individual capacitance connected in series.
C₁ = 0.1 μF
C₂ = 0.22 μF
C₃ = 0.47 μF
So the equivalent capacitance is
Rounding off yields
The equivalent capacitance of the three series capacitors in Figure 12-1 is 0.060 μF
Therefore, the correct option is (c)
