Three plates of common surface area `A` are connected as shown. The effective capacitance will be

A

`3 epsilon_(0) A//d`

B

`epsilon_(0) A//d`

C

`2 epsilon_(0) A//d`

D

`(3)/(2) epsilon_(0) A//d`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) The given circuit is equivalent to parallel combination
Each having capacitance `C = (epsilon_(0)A)/(d)`
Thus, `C_(eq) = 2C = (2 epsilon_(0) A)/(d)`
