Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance: NEET 2026

Medium· Combination of Capacitors (Series Grouping, Parallel Grouping)· +4 / −1

Five capacitors of capacitances

C_1=C_2=C_3=C_4=10\ \mu\text{F}

and

C_5=2.5\ \mu\text{F}

are connected as shown, along with a battery of 50 V.

C_2

and

C_3

lie on the top wire,

C_1

is on the left side and

C_4

on the right side, so

C_1

C_2

C_3

C_4

are in a single series chain.

C_5

is connected across the same two nodes, in parallel with this chain, and the 50 V battery is connected across the whole combination. Question diagram

The equivalent capacitance and the charges on each capacitor respectively are:
