Question

The equivalent capacitance of three capacitors each C in the combination shown in figure is: [Diagram: Image]

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: The upper capacitor is connected across a conducting wire and is therefore short-circuited. Step 2: The remaining two capacitors, each C, are across the same terminals in parallel. Step 3: C(eq) = C + C = 2C.
