MCQ
The total capacitance of capacitors connected in parallel is given by _____?
  • A
    Product of the individual capacitors in parallel.
  • B
    Sum of all the individual capacitors in parallel.
  • C
    Sum of their reciprocals.
  • D
    Product of their reciprocals.

Answer

  1. Sum of all the individual capacitors in parallel.

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of the capacitors connected in parallel is given by sum of their individual capacitances, that is if there are n capacitors in parallel the total capacitance is given by, C = C+ C+ C+ C+ ….. + Cn.
