Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When capacitors are connected in series, their equivalent capacitance can be calculated using the formula: 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + ... In this case, we have two capacitors in series, so the formula becomes: 1/Ceq = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ To get the equivalent capacitance, we need to invert both sides of the equation: Ceq = 1/(1/C₁ + 1/C₂) Simplifying this expression, we get: Ceq = C₁C₂/(C₁ + C₂) Therefore, the correct answer is A.
