Electrostatics Question 523
Question: 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 [NCERT 1971; DPMT 2001; MP PMT 2003; AIEEE 2005]
Options:
A) $ C $
B) $ nC $
C) $ (n-1)C $
D) $ (n+1)C $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The given arrangement becomes an arrangement of $ (n-1) $
capacitors connected in parallel. So $ C _{R}=(n-1)C $
