Question 538: Electrostats & Capacitance

Question

In the given figure, the equivalent capacitance between points A and B is

Accepted Answer

The given circuit can also be redrawn as,
Thus, the parallel capacitors are calculated as $$C_p=C+C+C=3 C$$
Hence,
The equivalent capacitance between $$A$$ and $$B$$ is
$$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{C_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{3 C}+\frac{1}{3 C} \
\Rightarrow \quad & \frac{1}{C_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{2}{3 C} \
\Rightarrow \quad & C_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{3}{2} C \
\Rightarrow \quad & C_{\mathrm{eq}}=1.5 C
\end{aligned}$$
