Connecting capacitances in series is equivalent to
A) increasing the thickness of the dielectric
B) adding the plate areas
C) decreasing the space between the plates
D) increasing the plate size

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connecting capacitors in series is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the dielectric between the plates, as it effectively increases the distance through which the electric field has to act, similar to having a thicker single dielectric layer.
