When capacitors are connected in parallel, what happens to the effective plate area?(a) Increases(b) Decreases(c) Remains the same(d) Becomes zeroI got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.My query is from Capacitors in Parallel topic in chapter Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) Increases

To explain I would say: When capacitors are CONNECTED in PARALLEL, the top plates of each of the capacitors are connected together while the bottom plates are connected to each other. This EFFECTIVELY increases the top PLATE area and the bottom plate area.
