Advanced Mechatronics Questions and Answers on “Components Interconnection and Impedance Matching”.

1. What is the equivalent capacitance when two capacitors, one of 20 microfarads and another of 10 microfarads are connected in series?
a) 20 microfarads
b) 30 microfarads
c) 15 microfarads
d) 10 microfarads
Answer: c
Clarification: The equivalent capacitance when two capacitors, one of 20 microfarads and another of 10 microfarads are connected in series is 15 microfarads. When capacitors are placed is series to each other then the equivalent capacitance is given by 1/Ct= (1/C1)+(1/C2)+….(1/Cn), where Ct is the total capacitance.
