For an (n) number of capacitors, each with capacitance "C", what will be the ratio between the maximum and minimum capacitances?

Explanation

The question asks for the ratio of the maximum to minimum capacitance for n capacitors. When n capacitors, each with capacitance C, are connected in series, the equivalent capacitance is minimized and given by Cseries = C/n. Conversely, when they are connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is maximized, given by Cparallel = nC. Therefore, the ratio of maximum to minimum capacitance is (nC)/(C/n) = n2.Option A is correct because it accurately depicts the squared relationship in the ratio. Option B incorrectly assumes a linear relationship, Option C overestimates the ratio, and Option D incorrectly suggests no change in capacitance.
