Electrostatics Question 631

Question: Three capacitors 2, 3 and 6 mF are joined in series with each other. What is the minimum effective capacitance [Orissa PMT 2004]

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{2}\mu F $

B) 1 mF

C) 2 mF

D) 3 mF

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \frac{1}{C _{eq}}=\frac{1}{C _{1}}+\frac{1}{C _{2}}+\frac{1}{C _{3}} $

$ =\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6} $

$ =\frac{3+2+1}{6}=\frac{6}{6}=1\mu F $
