AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the equivalent capacitance of the three capacitors when they are connected in series and then when they are connected in parallel. Finally, we will compare the two capacitances to find out how many times the capacity increases when they are connected in parallel. ### Step 1: Calculate the equivalent capacitance in series For capacitors in series, the formula for equivalent capacitance \( C_s \) is given by: \[ \frac{1}{C_s} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3} ...
