Three capacitors each of capacitance 18\(\mu F\) are connected in series. Calculate the effective capacitance of the capacitors

A.

54.00\(\mu F\)

B.

18.00\(\mu F\)

C.

6.00\(\mu F\)

D.

0.17\(\mu F\)

Correct answer is C

\(\frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3}{18}\)

c = 6\(\mu F\)
