Each of the capacitors shown in the figure has a capacitance of 3 μF. The equivalent capacitance of the assembly between the points A and B is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 3 μF
$\text{Each branch has 3 capacitors in series}$
$C_{\text{series}} = \frac{C}{3} = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \ \mu F$
$\text{There are 3 such branches in parallel}$
$C_{\text{eq}} = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 \ \mu F$
The equivalent capacitance is $3 \ \mu F$.
