PHY 102 Capacitors and Capacitance Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

A 1 μF and a 2 μF capacitor are connected in series. What is their equivalent capacitance?
Options
A 3 μF
B 0.667 μF
Correct Answer
C 1.5 μF
D 2 μF
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

1/C_eq = 1/1 + 1/2 = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5, so C_eq = 1/1.5 = 0.667 μF.

Hint

Series: reciprocal sum.
