Question

1.a. the arrangement below comprises four 6.0mF capacitor. what is the capacitance of the combination?
b. b. fill in the blank with either A parallel or B series
i. voltage across resistors in ...................... must be the same for each.
ii.current through resistors in ....................... must be the same for each
iii. voltage across capacitor in ...................... must be the sane for each
iv. charges stored in the capacitor in ................ must be the same for each

Answer 1

Capacitors connected in parallel, total capacitance is their sum.
Capacitors connected in series, total capacitance is computed the same as resistors in parallel. From the above the diagram, the total capacitance will be less than 6mF.

For part b. Review the rules for series and parallel circuits.
