A parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking n equally spaced plates connected alternatively. If the capacitance between any two adjacent plates is 'C' then the resultant capacitance is

A

`C`

B

`nC`

C

`(n - 1) C`

D

`(n - 1) C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The given arrangement becomes an arrangement of `(n - 1)` capaciotrs connected in parallel. So
`C_(R ) = (n - 1)C`
