Find the capacitance of the combination shown in figure between A and B.
उत्तर
Capacitors 5 and 1 are in series.
Their equivalent capacitance, `C_(eq) = (C_1C_5)/(C_1+C_5)` =`(2 xx 2)/(2+2)` = `1 "uF"`
`therefore` `C_(eq) = 1`
Now, this capacitor system is parallel to capacitor 6. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes 1 + 1 = 2 μF
The above capacitor system is in series with capacitor 2. Thus, the equivalent capacitance become `(2 xx 2)/(2+2) = 1 "uF"`
The above capacitor system is in parallel with capacitor 7. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes 1 + 1 = 2 μF
The above capacitor system is in series with capacitor 3. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes `(2 xx 2)/(2+2) = 1 "uF"`
The above capacitor system is in parallel with capacitor 8. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes
1 + 1 = 2 μF
The above capacitor system is in series with capacitor 4. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes `(2 xx 2)/(2+2) = 1 "uF"`
Hence, the equivalent capacitance between points A and B of the given capacitor system is 1 μF.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
