NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 23

The equivalent capacitance of the system shown in the following circuit is :

Question figure
  1. Option A:

    3μ F3 \mu \mathrm{~F}

  2. Option B:

    6μ F6 \mu \mathrm{~F}

  3. Option C:

    9μ F9 \mu \mathrm{~F}

  4. Option D:

    2μ F2 \mu \mathrm{~F}

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

For parallel grouping

C1=3+3=6μ FC_1=3+3=6 \mu \mathrm{~F}

For series grouping

Ceq=C1C2C1+C2=3×63+6=189Ceq=2μ F\begin{aligned} & C_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1+C_2}=\frac{3 \times 6}{3+6}=\frac{18}{9} \\ & C_{\mathrm{eq}}=2 \mu \mathrm{~F} \end{aligned}
