Si vous branchez deux condensateurs de 20 microfarads en série, quelle est la capacité de la combinaison?

  1. A80 microfarads
  2. B5 microfarads
  3. C10 microfarads
  4. D40 microfarads

Correct answer: C — 10 microfarads. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

When you connect two identical capacitors in series, the total ability to store charge drops to half of one unit, so two 20-microfarad capacitors become a single 10-microfarad combination. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
