If C(S) and C(P) are the equivalent capa...

If `C_(S) and C_(P)` are the equivalent capacities of n identical condensers joined in series and in parallel respectively, then the ratio `(C_(P))/(C_(S))` is

A

1.`n`

B

2. `n^(2)`

C

3. `(1)/(n^(2))`

D

4. `(n+1)/(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In parallel `c_(p)=nC`
In series `(1)/(C_(S))=(1)/(C)+ . . .+(1)/(C)=(n)/(C)`
`therefore C_(S)=(C)/(n)" "therefore (C_(p))/(C_(S))=nCxx(n)/(C)=n^(2)`
