Capacitors Lect Notes - H

Three capacitors of equal capacitance C are connected in parallel between points A and B. The equivalent capacitance between these points is: 1) 3C, as the total capacitance of capacitors in parallel is equal to the sum of individual capacitances. 2) For n capacitors of equal capacitance C connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is nC. 3) Here we have 3 equal capacitors of value C connected in parallel between A and B. Using the formula for parallel combination, the equivalent capacitance is 3C.
