Q.
Five capacitors of $10\mu F$ capacity each are connected to a $d.c.$ potential of $100\ volts$ as shown in the adjoining figure. The equivalent capacitance between the points $A$ and $B$ will be equal to
A) $40\mu F$
B) $20\mu F$
C) $30\mu F$
D) $10\mu F$
Explanation
(d) In the given system, no current will flow through the branch $CD$ so it can be removed
Effective capacitance of the system $= 5 + 5 = 10\mu F$
