`n` idential capacitors each of capacitance `C` when connected in series give equivalent capacitance `1.2muF` and when connect in parallel give `120muF`. Then `n` and `C` are

A

`5` and `10muF`

B

`10` and `12muF`

C

`10` and `6muF`

D

`12` and `10muF`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(C)/(n)=1.2` ….(i)
`nC=120` …(ii)
`(i)xx(ii)impliesC^(2)=144impliesC=12muF`
`n=10,C=12muF`
