What is the total capacitance when three capacitors, C1, C2 and C3 are connected in parallel?(a) C1/(C2+C3)(b) C1+C2+C3(c) C2/(C1+C3)(d) 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3This question was posed to me in homework.Origin of the question is Capacitors in Parallel topic in division Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

Correct choice is (B) C1+C2+C3

Explanation: When capacitors are CONNECTED in PARALLEL, the total capacitance is equal to the sum of the capacitance of each of the capacitors. Hence Ctotal=C1+C2+C3.
