उत्तर
Let the equivalent capacitance of the infinite ladder be C.
Because it is an infinite ladder, the change in the equivalent capacitance will be negligible if we add one more ladder at point AB, as shown in the given figure.
From the given figure, the equivalent capacitance can be calculated as :-
`C_(eq) = (2 xx C)/(2+C)+1 = C`
`⇒ (2+C)C = 3C + 2`
`⇒ 2C + C^2 = 3C + 2`
`⇒ C^2 - C - 2 = 0`
`⇒ (C-2) (C+1) = 0`
`⇒ C =-1 or C = 2`
`⇒ C= -1` (It is not possible)
`therefore C = 2 "uF"`
