A parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking n equally spaced plates connected alternatively. If the capacitance between any two adjacent plates is 'C' then the resultant capacitance is

A

C

B

nC

C

`(n-1)C`

D

`(n+1)C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Here, arrangement is of (n - 1) capacitors connected in parallel so `C_(eq) = (n-1)C`
