Help finding Effective Capacitance in a Circuit
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The Question is to find Effective capacitance in the circuit shown below (Sorry if the pic is not clear enough) ![]() 2. Relevant equations This is in the Chapter Capacitors so the basic formula that would be used I guess is Q = CV 3. The attempt at a solution First I Identified the Points with uniform Potentials and Named them ABCD A and B being the extremes then I connected a battery mentally between points A and B then I induced the charges {its hard to show without the picture but I hope it makes sense } then I used the Formula Q = CV I have solved simpler circuits using simple formulas like this one I mean just this but I was wondering if there was any kind of tricks to easily solve these , I have heard of Star Delta Conversion will that be applicable in this or Loop method IDK . Or should I move ahead to the next Chapters Resistors and Current and then try to solve these Please help Thanks |
