Two capacitors of 4 μF and 8 μF are connected in parallel. What is the equivalent capacitance of this system of capacitors?
A) 0.4 μF
B) 12 μF
C) 2.7 μF
D) 4 μF
E) 6 μF

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is the sum of their individual capacitances. Therefore, the equivalent capacitance of this system of capacitors is 4 μF + 8 μF = 12 μF. Choice B is the correct answer.
