A parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking n equally spaced plates connected alternatively. If the capacitance between any two adjacent plates is C then the resultant capacitance is:

A $(n - 1) C$
B $(n + 1) C$
C $C$
D $n C$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

n plates connected alternatively form (n - 1) identical capacitors in parallel.Since capacitors in parallel add up: C_{t o t a l} = C + C + \dots (n - 1 times) = (n - 1) C
