Question:
Two equal capacitors are first connected in series and then in parallel. The ratio of the equivalent capacities in the two cases will be:
Correct Option: , 3
Solution:
For series combination
For parallel combination
$\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}_{2}}=\mathrm{C}+\mathrm{C} \Rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}_{2}}=2 \mathrm{C}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}_{1}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}_{2}}}=\frac{(\mathrm{C} / 2)}{2 \mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{4}=1: 4$
