Q206 / 225 · JEE Main 2005 · Physics

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

Correct answer
A
$(n-1) C$
B
$(n+1) C$
C
$C$
D
$nC$

Solution

$C_{e q}=(n-1) C(\because$ all capacitors are in parallel $)$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
