Combination of Capacitors: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Combination of Capacitors. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

First Branch has a capacitance of 1F , for second branch it is 1/2F , for third branch it is 1/4 F and so, on . As all these branches are in parallel

\[ C_{eq}=C_{1}+C_{2}+C_{3}+....\]

\[ C_{eq}= 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{8}+....=\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{2}}=2\mu F\]
