Question 114Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhat would be the total capacitance of the circuit illustrated in figure "A" if the value of capacitor C1 was 100 microfarads and capacitor C2 was 200 microfarads? Illustration EL-0038

A66.6 microfarads
B150 microfarads
C166.6 microfarads
D300 microfarads
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 300 microfarads. The total capacitance of a circuit with two capacitors connected in parallel is the sum of their individual capacitances. In this case, with C1 = 100 microfarads and C2 = 200 microfarads, the total capacitance is 100 + 200 = 300 microfarads. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the sum of the two capacitances in parallel. Option A) 66.6 microfarads and Option C) 166.6 microfarads are incorrect calculations, while Option B) 150 microfarads does not account for the full capacitance of the two capacitors.
