Question

Two identical capacitors, each having a capacitance of 100 μF are connected in parallel. Find the total capacitance of the parallel combination.

A.

400 μF

B.

50 μF

C.

200 μF

D.

100 μF

Correct option is C

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances. Given that each capacitor has a capacitance of 100 μF, the total capacitance Ctotal can be calculated as follows:

Ctotal = C1 + C2

Here,
C1 = 100 μF
C2 = 100 μF

So,
Ctotal = 100 μF + 100 μF = 200 μF

Thus, the total capacitance of the parallel combination is 200 μF.
The correct answer is 200 μF.
