MCQ

Three capacitors of capacitances $6\mu\text{F}$ each are available. The minimum and maximum capacitances, which may be obtained are:

A
$6\mu\text{F},\ 18\mu\text{F}$
B
$3\mu\text{F},\ 12\mu\text{F}$
C
$2\mu\text{F},\ 12\mu\text{F}$
✓
$2\mu\text{F},\ 18\mu\text{F}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$2\mu\text{F},\ 18\mu\text{F}$

The minimum capacitance can be obtained by connecting all capacitors in series. It can be calculated as follows:
$\frac{1}{\text{C}}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{C}=2\mu\text{F}$
The maximum capacitance can be obtained by connecting all capacitors in parallel. It can be calculated as follows:
$\text{C}=6+6+6=18\mu\text{F}$
