Q. A parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking $n$ equally spaced plates connected alternately. If the capacitance between any two plates is $C$ then the resultant capacitance is
A) $C$
B) $nC$
C) $(n - 1)C$
D) $(n + 1)C$
Explanation
(c) The given arrangement becomes an arrangement of $(n - 1)$ capacitors connected in parallel. So $C_{R} = (n - 1)C$
