When capacitors are connected in parallel, their total capacitance act like:
A)resistance connected in parallel.
B)resistance connected in series-parallel.
C)resistance connected in series.
D)all of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When capacitors are connected in parallel, their total capacitance is equal to the sum of their individual capacitances. This is similar to resistors connected in parallel, where the total resistance is less than the smallest individual resistance. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because resistance connected in parallel reduces the total resistance, while capacitance connected in parallel increases the total capacitance. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a combination of series and parallel connections of resistors, and does not apply to capacitors. Option D is incorrect because it includes options A and B, which are not applicable.
