Question

Two identical capacitors, each of capacitance C, are connected in parallel and the combination is connected in series to a third identical capacitor. The equivalent capacitance is:
Options
A 2C/3
Correct Answer
B 0C
C 3C/2
D 2C
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Parallel pair = 2C. That in series with C: C_eq = (2C x C)/(2C+C) = 2C/3.

Hint

Parallel pair = 2C.
