Three capacitors each of capacitance 18\(\mu F\) are connected in series. Calculate the effective capacitance of the capacitors

  • A. 54.00\(\mu F\)
  • B. 18.00\(\mu F\)
  • C. 6.00\(\mu F\)
  • D. 0.17\(\mu F\)

Correct Answer: C. 6.00\(\mu F\)

Explanation

\(\frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3}{18}\)

c = 6\(\mu F\)
