Four capacitors, each of capacitance 16 μF, are connected as shown in the original figure. Find the equivalent capacitance between points A and B in μF.

Question

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

In the source diagram, each capacitor has one terminal connected to node A and the other terminal connected to node B. Therefore all four capacitors are connected in parallel. For capacitors in parallel, Ceq = C₁+C₂+C₃+C₄. Thus, Ceq = 16+16+16+16 = 64 μF. Answer: 64.
