Three capacitors, a 12 μ F, a 20 μ F and a 30 μ F, are connected in parallel. What is the total capacitance?

A) 6 μ F
B) 62 μ F

Parallel Connection

A configuration in electrical circuits where components are connected along multiple paths, so the same voltage is applied to each component.

Total Capacitance

In a circuit, the overall capacitance, which can be calculated differently for series and parallel configurations of capacitors, affecting the circuit’s reactance and phase angle.

μ F

Microfarad, a unit of capacitance equal to one millionth of a farad, used in measuring the capacity of a capacitor.
