Current Question (ID: 20136)

Question:
$\text{Consider the combination of 2 capacitors } C_1 \text{ and } C_2, \text{ with } C_2 > C_1,$ $\text{when connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is } \frac{15}{4} \text{ times}$ $\text{the equivalent capacitance of the same connected in series.}$ $\text{Calculate the ratio of capacitors, } \frac{C_2}{C_1}.$
Options:
  • 1. $\frac{15}{11}$
  • 2. $\frac{111}{80}$
  • 3. $\frac{29}{15}$
  • 4. $\text{None of the above}$
Solution:
$\text{Recall the series and parallel combination of capacitors.}$ $C_{\text{eq}} = C_1 + C_2$ $C'_{\text{eq}} = \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2}$ $C_1 + C_2 = \frac{15}{4} \left( \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2} \right)$ $4(C_1 + C_2)^2 = 15C_1C_2 = 0$ $4C_1^2 + 4C_2^2 - 7C_1C_2 = 0$ $\text{dividing by } C_1^2$ $4 \left( \frac{C_2}{C_1} \right)^2 - \frac{7C_2}{C_1} + 4 = 0$ $\text{Let } \frac{C_2}{C_1} = x$ $4x^2 - 7x + 4 = 0$ $b^2 - 4ac = 49 - 64 < 0$ $\text{No solution exists}$
