The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the capacitance of capacitors connected in parallel (C_p) to that of capacitors connected in series (C_s). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Capacitance of Each Capacitor:** Each capacitor has a capacitance of \(1 \mu F\). 2. **Calculate the Equivalent Capacitance for Capacitors in Parallel (C_p):** For capacitors in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances: \[ C_p = C_1 + C_2 + C_3 + C_4 + C_5 \] Since all capacitors are \(1 \mu F\): \[ C_p = 1 \mu F + 1 \mu F + 1 \mu F + 1 \mu F + 1 \mu F = 5 \mu F \] 3. **Calculate the Equivalent Capacitance for Capacitors in Series (C_s):** For capacitors in series, the total capacitance is given by: \[ \frac{1}{C_s} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3} + \frac{1}{C_4} + \frac{1}{C_5} \] Again, since all capacitors are \(1 \mu F\): \[ \frac{1}{C_s} = \frac{1}{1 \mu F} + \frac{1}{1 \mu F} + \frac{1}{1 \mu F} + \frac{1}{1 \mu F} + \frac{1}{1 \mu F} = 5 \times \frac{1}{1 \mu F} = \frac{5}{1 \mu F} \] Therefore: \[ C_s = \frac{1}{5} \mu F \] 4. **Calculate the Ratio \( \frac{C_p}{C_s} \):** Now we can find the ratio of the capacitances: \[ \frac{C_p}{C_s} = \frac{5 \mu F}{\frac{1}{5} \mu F} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ \frac{C_p}{C_s} = 5 \mu F \times \frac{5}{1 \mu F} = 25 \] 5. **Final Result:** The ratio \( C_p : C_s \) is: \[ C_p : C_s = 25 : 1 \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of the capacitance of the parallel combination to the capacitance of the series combination is \( 25 : 1 \).
