उत्तर
Applying star-delta conversion in the part indicated in the diagram.
The Capacitance of the `C_1` is given by
`C_1^' = (C_2C_3)/(C_1+C_2+C_3)`
`C_2^' = (C_1C_3)/(C_1+C_2+C_3)`
`C_3^' = (C_1C_2)/(C_1+C_2+C_3)`
⇒ `C_1'^ = (3 xx 4)/(1+3+4) = 12/8 "uF"`
⇒ `C_2^' = (1 xx 3)/(1+3+4) = 3/8 "uF"`
⇒ `C_3^' = (1 xx 4)/(1+3+4) = 4/8 "uF"`
Thus, the equivalent circuit can be drawn as :
Therefore, the equivalent capacitance is given by
`C_(eq) = 3/8 + [((3+1/2) xx (3/2+1))/((3+1/2)+(3/2+1))]` = `3/8 + 35/24 = (9+35)/24 = 11/6 "uF"`
`1+1 = 2 "uF"`
(c)
It is a balanced bridge.
Therefore, the capacitor of capacitance 5 μF can be removed.
Cef = `4/3+8/3+4 = 8 "uF"`
The capacitance of the two branches are :
`C_1 = (2 xx 4)/(2+4) = 4/3 uF`
`C_2 = (4 xx 8)/(4+8) = 8/3 uF`
∴ Equivalent capacitance = `4/3 + 8/3 + 4 = 8 "uF"`
It can be observed that the bridges are balanced.
Therefore, the capacitors of capacitance 6 μF between the branches can be removed
The capacitances of the four branches are :
`C_1 = (2 xx 4)/(2+4) = 4/3 uF`
`C_2 = (4 xx 8)/(4+8) = 8/3 uF`
`C_3 = (4 xx 8)/(4+8) = 8/3 uF`
`C_4 = (2 xx 4)/(2+4) = 4/3 uF`
∴ Equivalent capacitance
= `4/3 + 8/3 + 8/3 + 4/3`
= ` 8 "uF"`

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. |
