PHY 102 Capacitors and Capacitance Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

Three capacitors C₁, C₂, C₃ are connected in parallel. What is the equivalent capacitance?
Options
A 1/C_eq = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃
B C_eq = C₁ + C₂ + C₃
Correct Answer
C C_eq = C₁ = C₂ = C₃
D C_eq = (C₁C₂C₃)/(C₁+C₂+C₃)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For capacitors in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances: C_eq = C₁ + C₂ + C₃.

Hint

Same formula as series resistors.
