Calculate the resultant capacitances for each of the following combinations of capacitors .

Answer»

Solution :
Parallel COMBINATION of capacitor 1 and 2
`C_(p)= C_(0)+C_(0)=2C_(0)`
Series combination of capacitor `C_(p)` and 3
`(1)/(C_(s))=(1)/(C_(p))+(1)/(C_(3))=(1)/(2C_(0))+(1)/(C_(0))" (or)" (1)/(C_(s))=(3)/(2)C_(0)" " "(or)" " "C_(s)=(2)/(3) C_(0)`
(b)
Capacitor 1 and 2 are series combination
`(1)/(C_(s_(1)))=(1)/(C_(1))+(1)/(C_(2))=(1)/(C_(0))+(1)/(C_(0))=(1)/(C_(0))" (or)" (1)/(C_(s_(1)))=(2)/(C_(0))"(or)" C_(s_(1))=(C_(0))/(2)`
Similarly 3 and 4 are series combination
`(1)/(C_(s_(1)))=(1)/(C_(3))+(1)/(C_(4))+(1)/(C_(0))+(1)/(C_(0))=(2)/(C_(0)) "(or)" C_(s_(2))=(C_(0))/(2)`
`C_(s_(1)) ` and `C_(s_(2))` are in parallel combination

`C_(P)= C_(s_(1))+C_(s_(2))=(C_(0))/(2)+(C_(0))/(2) "(or)" C_(P)= (2C_(0))/(2) "" C_(P)=C_(0)`
(c ) Capacitor 1,2 and 3 are in parallel combination
`C_(P)=C_(0)+C_(0)+C_(0)=3C_(0)`
`C_(P)=3C_(0)`
(d) Capacitar `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` are in combination
`(1)/(C_(s_(1)))=(C_(1)+C_(2))/(C_(1)C_(2))`
`C_(s_(1))= (C_(1)C_(2))/(C_(1)+C_(2))`

Similarly `C_(3)` and `C_(4)` are in series combination
`(1)/(C_(s_(2)))=(1)/(C_(3))+(1)/(C_(4))=(C_(3)+C_(4))/(C_(3)C_(4))`
`C_(s_(2))= (C_(3)C_(4))/(C_(3)+C_(4))`
`C_(s_(1)) ` and `C_(s_(2))` are in parallel combination ACROSS R.S:
`CP = C_(s_(1))+ C_(s_(2))`
`=(C_(1)C_(2))/(C_(1)+C_(2))+(C_(3)C_(4))/(C_(3)+C_(4))=(C_(1)C_(2)(C_(3)+C_(4))+C_(3)C_(4)(C_(1)+C_(2)))/((C_(1)+C_(2))(C_(3)+C_(4)))`
`C_(P)=(C_(1)C_(2)C_(3)+C_(1)C_(2)C_(4)+C_(3)C_(4)C_(1)+C_(3)C_(4)C_(2))/((C_(1)+C_(2))(C_(3)+C_(4)))`
(e) Capacitor 1 and 2 are series combination
`(1)/(C_(s_(1)))=(1)/(C_(1))+(1)/(C_(2))=(1)/(C_(0))+(1)/(C_(0))=(1)/(C_(0))`
`(1)/(C_(s_(1)))=(2)/(C_(0)) "(or)" C_(s_(1)) = (C_(0))/(2)`
Similarly 3 and 4 are series combination
`(1)/(C_(s_(2))=(2)/(C_(0)) "(or)" C_(s_(2))= (C_(0))/(2)`
Three CAPACITORS are in parallel combination
