    In the given network capacitance \[{{C}_{2}}=10\,\mu F,\] \[{{C}_{1}}=5\,\mu F\] and \[{{C}_{3}}=4\,\mu F.\] The resultant capacitance between P and Q will be:

    A)  \[4.7\,\mu F\]                                 

    B)  \[1.2\,\mu F\]

    C)  \[3.2\,\mu F\]                 

    D)         \[2.2\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Seeing in the given circuit \[{{C}_{1}}\] and \[{{C}_{2}}\] are connected in parallel. Hence, their equivalent capacitance \[{{C}_{eq}}={{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}=5+10\]        \[=15\,\mu F\] As \[{{C}_{eq}}\] and \[{{C}_{3}}\] are connected in series, Hence, resultant capacitance between P and Q is given by \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{PQ}}}=\frac{1}{{{C}_{eq}}}+\frac{1}{{{C}_{3}}}=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{19}{60}\]   \[\frac{1}{{{C}_{PQ}}}=\frac{60}{19}=3.2\mu F\]
