Question

Five capacitor each of capacitance value C are connected as shown in the figure. The ratio of capacitance between P to R, and the capacitance between P and Q is ______.

Options

• 1 : 4

• 2 : 3

• 2 : 5

• 1 : 1

Answer 1

Five capacitor each of capacitance value C are connected as shown in the figure. The ratio of capacitance between P to R, and the capacitance between P and Q is 2 : 3.

Explanation:

For the capacitance between P and R, C₁, C₂, and C₃ are connected in series, but they combine in parallel with C₄ and C₅, which are connected in series.
