उत्तर

Parallel combination of capacitor 1 and 2
Cp = C0 + C0 = 2C0
Series combination of capacitor Cp and 3
`1/"C"_"s" = 1/"C"_"p" + 1/"C"_3 = 1/(2 "C"_0) + 1/"C"_0 = ("or") 1/"C"_"s" = 3/2 "C"_0 ("or") "C"_"s" = 2/3 "C"_0`
`1/"C"_("s"_1) = 1/"C"_1 + 1/"C"_2 = 1/"C"_0 + 1/"C"_0 = 1/"C"_0` (or)
`1/"C"_("s"_1) = 2/"C"_0 ("or") "C"_("S"_1) = "C"_0/2`
Similarly 3 and 4 are series combination
`1/"C"_("s"_1) = 1/"C"_3 + 1/"C"_4 = 1/"C"_0 + 1/"C"_0 = 2/"C"_0 ("or") "C"_("S"_2) = "C"_0/2`
`"C"_("S"_1) and "C"_("S"_2)` are in parallel combination
`"C"_"p" = "C"_("S"_1) + "C"_("S"_2) = "C"_0/2 + "C"_0/2 ("or") "C"_"p" = (2"C"_0)/2 "C"_"p" = "C"_0`- Capacitor 1, 2 and 3 are in parallel combination
Cp = C0 + C0 + C0 = 3C0
Cp = 3C0
- Capacitar C1 and C2 are in combination
`1/"C"_("s"_1) = ("C"_1 + "C"_2)/("C"_1"C"_2)`
`"C"_("s"_1) = ("C"_1"C"_2)/("C"_1 + "C"_2)`
Similarly C3 and C4 are in series combination
`1/"C"_("s"_2) = 1/"C"_3 + 1/"C"_4 = ("C"_3 + "C"_4)/("C"_3"C"_4)`
`"C"_("s"_2) = ("C"_3"C"_4)/("C"_3 + "C"_4)`
`"C"_("s"_1) and "C"_("s"_2)` are in parallel combination across RS:
CP = `"C"_("S"_1) + "C"_("S"_2)`
`= ("C"_1"C"_2)/("C"_1 + "C"_2) + ("C"_3"C"_4)/("C"_3 + "C"_4)`
`= ("C"_1"C"_2 ("C"_3 + "C"_4) + "C"_3"C"_4("C"_1 + "C"_2))/(("C"_1 + "C"_2)("C"_3 + "C"_4))`
`"C"_"P" = ("C"_1"C"_2"C"_3 + "C"_1"C"_2"C"_4 + "C"_3"C"_4"C"_1 + "C"_3"C"_4"C"_2)/(("C"_1 + "C"_2)("C"_3 + "C"_4))` - Capacitor 1 and 2 are series combination
`1/"C"_("s"_1) = 1/"C"_1 + 1/"C"_2 = 1/"C"_0 + 1/"C"_0 = 1/"C"_0`
`1/"C"_("s"_1) = 2/"C"_0` (or) `"C"_"s"_1 = "C"_0/2`
Similarly 3 and 4 are series combination
`1/"C"_("s"_1) = 2/"C"_0 ("or") "C"_("s"_2) = "C"_0/2`
Three capacitors are in parallel combination
`"C"_"P" = "C"_0/2 + "C"_0 + "C"_0/2 + (2"C"_0)/2 + "C"_0/2 = (4"C"_0)/2`
`"C"_"P" = 2 "C"_0`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
