  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 100 μF capacitor is connected in parallel to a 50 μF capacitor. What is the equivalent capacitance of the circuit?

    • A) 50 μF
    • B) 100 μF
    • C) 150 μF
    • D) 200 μF

    Answer: 150 μF

    Explanation: The equivalent capacitance is given by 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2, so it's 66.7 μF, but the closest answer is 150 μF, not 50 μF, 100 μF, or 200 μF.
