Answer to Question #308657 in Electricity and Magnetism for Yco

Question

(1) A student claims that capacitors in parallel combinations have greater

equivalent capacitance compared to the magnitude of either the capacitor and

less than either the capacitors when connected in series combination. How will

you agree or disagree with the claim?

Answer 1

Answer

When add in parallel then total capacitance =2C

When in series =0.5C

So less in series so claim of student is right.
