Q. In a given network the equivalent capacitance between $A$ and $B$ is $\lbrack C_{1} = C_{4} = 1\mu F,C_{2} = C_{3} = 2\mu F\rbrack$

A) $3\ \mu F$
B) $6\ \mu F$
C) $4.5\ \mu F$
D) $2.5\ \mu F$
Explanation

(a) $C_{2}$ and $C_{3}$ are in series so equivalent capacitance
$= \frac{2 \times 2}{2 + 2} = 1$
$\Rightarrow$ Now $1\mu F,1\mu F$ and $1\mu F$ are in parallel
$\therefore C_{eq} = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3\mu F$
