    Four \[10\,\,\mu F\]capacitors are connected to a 500 V supply as shown in the figure. The equivalent capacitance of the network is:

    A)  \[40\,\mu F\]

    B) \[20\,\mu F\]

    C)  \[13.3\,\mu F\]

    D)  \[10\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The given circuit consists of three capacitors in series, connected to fourth capacitor in parallel. \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{C}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{3}{10}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{C}_{1}}=\frac{10}{3}\mu F\] This is in parallel to \[10\,\mu F\]capacitor, hence, \[{{C}_{2}}=\frac{10}{3}+10=\frac{40}{3}=13.3\,\mu F\]
