Ceq =C1+ C2 + C3 + ... + Cn is the combination in _.
Correct answer: A. Parallel
- A. Parallel
- B. Series
- C. Both of them
- D. None of them
Explanation
Option A: The combination C = C + C + C + ... + C represents the combination of multiple capacitors connected in parallel.Therefore, the correct answer is A) Parallel.In a parallel combination of capacitors, the positive terminals of all capacitors are connected together, and the negative terminals are connected together. This results in the same potential difference across each capacitor. The total capacitance of the combination is the sum of the individual capacitances.In the given expression, since all the capacitors are added together, it represents a parallel combination.Option B: In a series combination of capacitors, the positive terminal of one capacitor is connected to the negative terminal of the next capacitor. The total capacitance in a series combination is given by the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
