Answer Key: Capacitance Exercise 6


1. A capacitor is rated at 0.10 µF ±10%. What is its guaranteed range of capacitance?
answer: 0.09 to 0.11

2. Suppose three capacitors are in parallel, having values of C1 = 0.100 µF, C2 = 0.0100 µF, and C3 = 0.001000 µF. What is the total capacitance?
answer: 0.111 µF

3. Suppose two capacitors, with values of C1 = 0.10 µF and C2 = 0.050 µF, are connected in series. What is the net capacitance?
answer: 0.033 µF

4. Suppose that a capacitor, rated at 330 pF, shows an actual value of 317 pF. By how many percent does its actual capacitance differ from its rated capacitance?
answer: -3.9%

5. Suppose that a capacitor is rated at 33 pF _10%. Which of the following actual capacitance values is outside the acceptable range?
answer: (b) 37 pF
