Question 12

From the circuit given below, the capacitance between terminals A and B shown in the circuit is ______ $$\mu$$F.
(take $$C_1 = C_2 = C_3 = 1$$ $$\mu$$F and $$C_4 = 2$$ $$\mu$$F.)

Let the node between $$C_1$$ and $$C_2$$ be P. 
The node between $$C_2$$ and $$C_3$$ is A (since that is shorted)
The two capacitors $$C_1 , C_2 $$ are connected end-to-end between the terminals A and P, so they are in parallel.
The simplified circuit looks like

$$(C_1 \parallel C_2) \text{ in series with } C_4$$
$$\text{and the above eq. cap in parallel with } C_3$$

$$C_{eq} = \frac{(C_1 + C_2)C_4}{(C_1 + C_2) + C_4} + C_3$$

$$= \frac{(1 + 1)(2)}{1 + 1 + 2} + 1$$

$$= \frac{4}{4} + 1$$

$$= 2\mu F$$

Option C which is: $$2,\mu F$$
