Three capacitors, A, B, and C, are connected in parallel to a source. The effective capacitance as seen by the source is
A) $A B C / ( A + B + C )$
B) $( A + B + C ) / ( A B C )$
C) $A + B + C$
D) $A B C / ( A B + B C + C A )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In parallel connection, the effective capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances, hence $A + B + C$.

Three Capacitors, A, B, and C, Are Connected in Parallel ABC/(A+B+C)A B C / ( A + B + C )ABC/(A+B+C)

Three Capacitors, A, B, and C, Are Connected in Parallel $A B C / ( A + B + C )$
