Electrostatics | 24712 - Calculate the equivalent capacitance bet-askIITians

sai kumar Grade: 12

        Calculate the equivalent capacitance between the points a and b in Figure P26.72. Note that this is not a simple series  or parallel combination. (Suggestion: Assume a potential

difference deltaV between points a and b. Write expressions for deltaV ab in terms of the charges and capacitances for the various possible pathways from a to b, and require conservation of charge for those capacitor plates that are connected to each other.)

a.   c1

  \__||________

  |       |    |

c2=    c3 =    = c4

  |_______|_||_|

            c5  \.b

c1 = 4 micro farade

c2 = 2 micro farade

c3 = 8 micro farade

c4 = 4 micro farade

c5 = 2 micro farade

please solve ...
