Question on: JAMB Physics - 2017

The net capacitance in the circuit above is
A
80µF
B
6.0µF
C
4.0µF
D
2.0µF
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
For capacitance i n parallel, 2µF and 2µF are in parallel,
their equivalence is 2µF and 2µF = 4µF

The 4µF generated is now in series with the remaining 4µF.

The net capacitance for series connection is

\(\frac{1}{C}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 1 + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{2}{4}\)

C = \(\frac{4}{2}\)

= 2µF
