- MCQ
Two equal capacitors are first connected in series and then in parallel. The ratio of the equivalent capacities in the two cases will be
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(1: 4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For series combination
\(C _{ eq _{2}}= C + C \Rightarrow C _{ eq _{2}}=2 C\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{ C _{ eq _{1}}}{ C _{ eq _{2}}}=\frac{( C / 2)}{2 C }=\frac{1}{4}=1: 4\)
