Consider the following values of capacitance in the indicated circuit: C_1 = 195 mF C_2 = 134 mF If C_1 and C_2 are replaced by a single equivalent capacitor, C_5, what is the value of C_5 in mF?

Solution

From the given circuit C1 and C2 are in parallel,

The equivalent capacitance C5 will be given by the formula

C5=C1+C2=195+134=329mF
