If three 3.0-µF capacitors are connected in parallel,what is the combined capacitance?
A) 0.46 μF
B) 1.0 μF
C) 9.0 μF
D) 0.75 μF

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When capacitors are connected in parallel, their capacitance values add up. So, in this case, the combined capacitance is simply the sum of the individual capacitances:

C_total = C1 + C2 + C3
C_total = 3.0 µF + 3.0 µF + 3.0 µF
C_total = 9.0 µF

Therefore, the best choice is C, with a combined capacitance of 9.0 µF.
