Physics · Capacitors and capacitance, the combination of capacitors in series and parallel

The effective capacitance between and will be

The effective capacitance between \( \boldsymbol{A} \) and \( B \) will be

  • A. \( 0.5 F \)
  • B. \( 1.5 F \)
  • C. 2 F \)
  • D. 2.5

Step-by-step solution

Assuming a common circuit with three 1 F capacitors: two in series give 0.5 F, and that combination in parallel with the third gives 0.5 F + 1 F = 1.5 F. This is a typical configuration leading to 1.5 F.
