उत्तर

Capacitors 5 and 1 are in series.
Their equivalent capacitance, `C_(eq) = (C_1C_5)/(C_1+C_5)` =`(2 xx 2)/(2+2)` = `1 "uF"`
`therefore` `C_(eq) = 1`
Now, this capacitor system is parallel to capacitor 6. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes 1 + 1 = 2 μF
The above capacitor system is in series with capacitor 2. Thus, the equivalent capacitance become `(2 xx 2)/(2+2) = 1 "uF"`
The above capacitor system is in parallel with capacitor 7. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes 1 + 1 = 2 μF
The above capacitor system is in series with capacitor 3. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes `(2 xx 2)/(2+2) = 1 "uF"`
The above capacitor system is in parallel with capacitor 8. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes
1 + 1 = 2 μF
The above capacitor system is in series with capacitor 4. Thus, the equivalent capacitance becomes `(2 xx 2)/(2+2) = 1 "uF"`
Hence, the equivalent capacitance between points A and B of the given capacitor system is 1 μF.

During a thunder storm, the movement of water molecules within the clouds creates friction, partially causing the bottom part of the clouds to become negatively charged. This implies that the bottom of the cloud and the ground act as a parallel plate capacitor. If the electric field between the cloud and ground exceeds the dielectric breakdown of the air (3 × 106 Vm–1), lightning will occur.
