In the given figure, the capacitors C 1 , C 3 , C 4 C 5 have a capacitance 4µF each. If the capacitor C 2 has a capacitance 10 µF, then effective capacitance between A and B will be:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
As 
This is a balanced Wheatstone bridge arrangement in which no charge flows through 
, hence 
is not considered.
Capacitors 
and 
are in series.
Also, 
and 
are in series, hence
Now, C' and C'' are in parallel, hence net capacitance between A and B is
