Question

When capacitors are connected in series, the equivalent capacitance is ……… each individual capacitance.
Options
A Greater than
B Less than
Correct Answer
C Equal to
D Insufficient data provided
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For series capacitors, 1/C_eq = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + ... so C_eq is less than the smallest individual capacitance.

Hint

Series reduces total capacitance.
