MCQ
A parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking $n$ equally spaced plates connected alternately. If the capacitance between any two plates is $C$ then the resultant capacitance is
- A$C$
- B$nC$
- ✓$(n - 1)C$
- D$(n + 1)C$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$(n - 1)C$
c
(c) The given arrangement becomes an arrangement of $(n - 1)$ capacitors connected in parallel. So ${C_R} = (n - 1)C$
(c) The given arrangement becomes an arrangement of $(n - 1)$ capacitors connected in parallel. So ${C_R} = (n - 1)C$
