Three capacitors having a capacitance equal to 2F, 4F and 6F are connected in parallel. Calculate the effective parallel.(a) 10F(b) 11F(c) 12F(d) 13FThis question was posed to me in an interview for internship.The query is from Capacitors in Parallel topic in division Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (c) 12F

Easiest EXPLANATION: When capacitors are connected in PARALLEL, the TOTAL CAPACITANCE is EQUAL to the sum of the capacitance of each of the capacitors. Hence Ctotal = C1+C2+C3 = 2+4+6 = 12F.
