Question

A parallel plate capacitor is made by stocking n equally spaced plates connected alternately. If the capacitance b/w any two plate is x, then the total capacitance is

Options

• `nx`

• `n/x`

• `x`

• `(n - 1)x`

Answer 1

`(n - 1)x`

Explanation:

`(n - 1)` plate form capacitors evenly spaced Because the plates are linked alternately, `(n - 1)` condensers are linked in parallel. As a result, total capacitance = `(n - l)x`.
