You calculated a equivalent capacitance of 046 F 009F If th

You calculated a equivalent capacitance of 0.46 F ± 0.09F. If the manufacturer has labeled the capacitor as 0.5 F ± 10%, is this consistent with your result?

Solution

According to the manufacturer,

maximum capacitance=0.5(1.1)=0.55 uF

minimum capacitance=0.5(0.9)=0.45 uF

According to the calulations;

maximum capacitance= 0.46+0.09=0.55uF

minimum capacitance= 0.46-0.09=0.37uF which is not conistent with 0.45uF (manufacturer value)

so it is not consistent.
