A parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking n equally spaced plates connected alternatively. If the capacitance between any two adjacent plates is C then the resultant capacitance is

Options

A $(n-1) C$
B $(n+1) C$
C $C$
D $nC$

Correct answer

A. $(n-1) C$

Step-by-step solution

C_{e q}=(n-1) C(\because

all capacitors are in parallel

)
