Question 109Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is C) Double. When individual capacitors are connected in parallel in an electrical circuit, the total capacitance is equal to the sum of the individual capacitances. Since the capacitors in the schematic shown in figure "A" are connected in parallel, the total capacitance will be double the value of the individual capacitors. The other options are incorrect because: A) Half is incorrect as the total capacitance increases when capacitors are connected in parallel; B) Equal is incorrect as the total capacitance is not equal to the individual capacitances when connected in parallel; and D) Squared is incorrect as the total capacitance does not get squared when capacitors are connected in parallel.
