Question

A circuit contains two capacitors rated at 0.02 microfrads and 0.05 microfrads connected in series the circuits Source voltage is 30vac what is the circuits total capacity

Answer 1

about 0.0143 microfarads

Explanation:

The effective capacitance of capacitors in series is the reciprocal of the sum of their reciprocals:

1/(1/0.02 +1/0.05) = 1/(50+20) = 1/70 ≈ 0.0143 . . . microfarads
