Four metallic plates each of surface area (of one side) A , are placed at a distance d apart from each other. The two plates are connected to a point P and the two inner plates to another point Q as shown in figure:
Then the capacitance of the system is

A

`epsilon_0 A/(2d)`

B

`epsilon_0 A/(d)`

C

`2epsilon_0 A/(d)`

D

`3epsilon_0 A/(d)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
