    Two capacitors when connected in series have a capacitance of \[3\,\,\mu F,\] and when connected in parallel have a capacitance of \[16\,\,\mu F.\] Their individual capacities are

    A) \[1\,\,\mu F,\]\[2\,\,\mu F\]                      

    B) \[6\,\,\mu F,\]\[2\,\,\mu F\]

    C) \[12\,\,\mu F,\]\[4\,\,\mu F\]

    D)        \[3\,\,\mu F,\]\[16\,\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{C}_{s}}=\frac{{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}}{{{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}}=3\] \[{{C}_{p}}={{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}=16\]\[\therefore \]\[{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}=48\] \[{{C}_{1}}-{{C}_{2}}=\sqrt{{{({{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}})}^{2}}-4\,{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}}\] \[=\sqrt{{{16}^{2}}-4\times 48}=\sqrt{64}=8\] \[\therefore \] \[{{C}_{1}}=12\mu F\]and \[{{C}_{2}}=4\mu F\]
