Question

There are 10 identical capacitors each of capacitance C

  1. If all of them are connected in series, their equivalent capacitance is C/10    
  2. If all of them are connected in parallel, their equivalent capacitance is 10C    
  3. If two series combinations each having 5 capacitors are connected in parallel, their equivalent capacitance is 2C/5    
  4. If they are connected as five parallel combinations each one having two capacitors in series, their equivalent capaitance is 5C/2    

The correct answer is: If all of them are connected in series, their equivalent capacitance is C/10
