JEE Main 2016 (Online) 10th April Morning Slot Physics - Capacitor Question 126 English
$${{31} \over {23}}\,\mu F$$
$${{32} \over {23}}\,\mu F$$
$${{33} \over {23}}\,\mu F$$
$${{34} \over {23}}\,\mu F$$

Explanation

Equivalent capacitance of 6 $$\mu $$F and 12 $$\mu $$F is = $${{6 \times 12} \over {12 + 6}}$$ = 4 $$\mu $$F

Equivalent capacitance of 4$$\mu $$F and 4$$\mu $$F

is = 4 + 4 = 8 $$\mu $$F

New circuit is $$ \to $$

JEE Main 2016 (Online) 10th April Morning Slot Physics - Capacitor Question 126 English Explanation 1

equivalent capacitance of 1 $$\mu $$F and 8 $$\mu $$F is

   = $${{1 \times 8} \over {8 + 1}}$$ = $${8 \over 9}$$ $$\mu $$F

Equivalent capacitance of 8 $$\mu $$F and 4 $$\mu $$F is

   = $${{8 \times 4} \over {12}}$$ = $${8 \over 3}$$ $$\mu $$F

New circuit is $$ \to $$

JEE Main 2016 (Online) 10th April Morning Slot Physics - Capacitor Question 126 English Explanation 2

Equation capacitance of $${8 \over 9}$$ $$\mu $$F and $${8 \over 3}$$ $$\mu $$F is

   = $${8 \over 9}$$ + $${8 \over 3}$$ = $${32 \over 9}$$ $$\mu $$F

$$ \therefore $$   Equivalent capacitance of AB is

CAB = $${{C \times {{32} \over 9}} \over {C + {{32} \over 9}}}$$

Given that,

CAB = 1 $$\mu $$F

$$ \therefore $$   1 = $${{C \times {{32} \over 9}} \over {C + {{32} \over 9}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   C + $${{{32} \over 9}}$$ = $${{32C} \over 9}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   $${{23C} \over 9} = {{32} \over 9}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   C = $${{32} \over {23}}$$ $$\mu $$F
