6.0µF
C
4.0µF
D
2.0µF
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For capacitance i n parallel, 2µF and 2µF are in parallel,
their equivalence is 2µF and 2µF = 4µF
The 4µF generated is now in series with the remaining 4µF.
The net capacitance for series connection is
\(\frac{1}{C}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 1 + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{2}{4}\)
C = \(\frac{4}{2}\)
= 2µF
