G5C08
What is the equivalent capacitance of two 5.0-nanofarad capacitors and one 750-picofarad capacitor connected in parallel?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. 10.750 nanofarads
Capacitors in parallel simply add. 750 pF = 0.75 nF, so total = 5.0 + 5.0 + 0.75 = 10.75 nF.
Tip: Parallel capacitors add like series resistors.
