Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  1. What is the effective capacitance between points X and Y?
    1. ​24 µF ​
    2. 18 µF
    3. 12 µF
    4. 6 µF
Correct Option: D

​ ​ ​
Equivalent circuit

Here,
C1
=
C2
C3C4

​Hence, no charge will flow through 20µF
​ ​
​C1 and C234 ​Hence, C' = 3 µF, C'' = 3 µF ​C' and C'' are in parallel. ​
Hence net capacitance = C' + C'' = 3 + 3
​= 6 µF
