Suppose the 3 μF capacitor in Figure 24.10a in the textbook were removed and replaced by a different one, and that this changed the equivalent capacitance between points a and b to 7 μF . What would be the capacitance of the replacement capacitor?

Step 1
If they are connected in series, the total or equivalent capacitance (Ceq) is given by the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances. If they are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is simply the sum of the individual Show more…
