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

`(n-1)C`

B

`(n+1)C`

C

`C`

D

`nC`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Capacitance between any two adjecent plates is 'C'

Capacitor consists of `n` plates, then there are `(n-1)` combinations joined in parallel.
`:.C_(AB) = (n-1)C`
