The net capacitance in the circuit above is

The net capacitance in the circuit above is

A.

80µF

B.

6.0µF

C.

4.0µF

D.

2.0µF

Correct answer is D

For capacitance i n parallel, 2µF and 2µF are in parallel,
their equivalence is 2µF and 2µF = 4µF

The 4µF generated is now in series with the remaining 4µF.

The net capacitance for series connection is

\(\frac{1}{C}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 1 + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{2}{4}\)

C = \(\frac{4}{2}\)

= 2µF
