Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When capacitors in parallel (3 capacitors), the equivalent capacitance is
A
C = C1 + C2 + C3
B
C = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3
C
C = QV1 + QV2 + QV3
D
C = QV1 + QV2 + QV3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The equivalent capacitance of three capacitors of capacitance C1, C2 and C3 are connected in parallel is 12 units and product C1. C2. C3 = 48.

Detailed explanation-2: -The total capacitance for the two capacitors c1 and c2 when connected in parallel is derived by taking the sum of the capacitance of these two capacitors: Total capacitance = c1 +c2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Show that the effective capacitance, C, of a series combination, of three capacitors, C1, C2 and C3 is given by C = C1C2C3/(C1C2 + C2C3 + C3C1)
