Question: 1 / 545

What is the equivalent capacitance of two 5000 picofarad capacitors and one 750 picofarad capacitor connected in parallel?

576.9 picofarads

1733 picofarads

3583 picofarads

10750 picofarads

To determine the equivalent capacitance of capacitors connected in parallel, you simply add their capacitances together. In this scenario, you have two capacitors of 5000 picofarads each and one capacitor of 750 picofarads.

Calculating the total capacitance:

1. Start by adding the two 5000 picofarad capacitors:

5000 pF + 5000 pF = 10000 pF.

2. Then, add the 750 picofarad capacitor to the result:

10000 pF + 750 pF = 10750 pF.

Thus, the equivalent capacitance of the three capacitors in parallel is 10750 picofarads. This straightforward addition reflects the fundamental property of capacitors in parallel, which allows the total capacitance to increase by simply summing their individual capacitances.
