Correct Answer - Option 4 : 0.125 μF

Concept:

Equivalent capacitance of capacitors: 

Connected in series: When n capacitors C1, C2, C3, ... Cn are connected in series, the net capacitance (Cs) is given by:

\(⇒ \dfrac{1}{C_s} = \dfrac{1}{C_1} + \dfrac{1}{C_2}+ \dfrac{1}{C_3} + ... \dfrac{1}{C_n}\)     ---(1)

Connected in parallel: When n capacitors C1, C2, C3, ... Cn are connected in parallel, the net capacitance (Cp) is given by:

⇒ Cp = C+ C2  + C+...  Cn

Calculation: 

Here, Two 0.25 μF capacitors connected in series.

∴ C1 = C2 = 0.25 μF

From equation (1);

\( \dfrac{1}{C_s} = \dfrac{1}{C_1} + \dfrac{1}{C_2}\)

\( \dfrac{1}{C_s} = \dfrac{1}{0.25μ F} + \dfrac{1}{0.25μ F}\)

On calculating we'll get

Ceq = 0.125 μF
