Answer to Question #307223 in Electric Circuits for Donde

Question

You have five 10.0 F capacitors. Show all possible connections of all five capacitors to produce an equivalent capacitance of 0.5 F

Answer 1

We know that

$C_1=C_2=C_3=C_4=C_5=10F$

All capacitor connected in parallel combination

$C_{net}=C_1+C_2+C_3+C_4+C_5$

$$C_{net}=10+10+10+10+10+10=50F$$

$C_{net}=50F$

$C_{eq}=C'+C_3+C''$

$C_{eq}=0.5F$
