You connect two 12-μF capacitors and a 6-μF capacitor in series. The equivalent capacitance of the combination is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When capacitors are connected in series, the equivalent capacitance is found using the formula:

1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + ...

In this case, we have three capacitors in series:

1/Ceq = 1/12 μF + 1/12 μF + 1/6 μF

Simplifying this expression gives:

1/Ceq = 1/6 μF

Therefore, the equivalent capacitance is:

Ceq = 6 μF.
