    In the network shown in figure, \[{{C}_{1}}=6\,\mu F\], F and\[C=9\,\mu F\]. The equivalent capacitance between points P and Q is  

    A)  \[3\,\mu F\]                  

    B)  \[6\,\mu F\]

    C)  \[9\,\mu F\]                  

    D)  \[12\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The last three capacitors oh the right, each of capacitance \[\operatorname{C}=9\,\mu F\] are in series and are equivalent to a capacitance C? given by \[\frac{1}{C'}=\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{3}\] Or     \[C'=3\,\mu F\] Since C? is in parallel with\[{{C}_{1}}\], the equivalent capacitance of the last part of the network is \[\operatorname{C}''=C'+{{C}_{1}}=3+6=9\,\mu F\] Continuing the process of calculation towards the left we notice that we are finally left with the combination whose equivalent capacitance is\[3\,\mu F\].
