What is the total capacitance when two capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in series?(a) (C1+C2)/C1C2(b) 1/C1+1/C2(c) C1C2/(C1+C2)(d) C1+C2This question was addressed to me during an online interview.I would like to ask this question from Capacitors in Series topic in chapter Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering |

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (c) C1C2/(C1+C2) Explanation: When CAPACITORS are connected in series, the EQUIVALENT capacitance is: 1/Ctotal=1/C1+1/C2, therefore Ctotal = C1C2/(C1+C2). |
