Q. A parallel plate capacitor is made by stocking $n$ equally spaced plates connected alternately. If the capacitance between any two plates is $x$, then the total capacitance is,
A) $nx$
B) $n/x$
C) $nx^{2}$
D) $(n - 1)x$
Explanation
(d) ($n$-1) capacitors are made by $n$ plates and all are connected in parallel because plates are connected alternately.
$\therefore$ Total capacitance$\ = (n - 1)x$
