Question

How can I solve this?
You have three capacitors of values 40 F, 10 F and 50 F. What would their equivalent capacitance (in F) be if they were connected in parallel with each other? Enter your answer as a number only, to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of capacitors in parallel can be determined as

$C_{eq} = C_1 + C_2 + C_3$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 40\:\text{F} + 10\:\text{F} + 50\:\text{F} = 100\:\text{F}$
