Question

Two capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in parallel. Assume that C1<C2. The equivalent capacitance of this arrangement is C, where
  1. C<C1/2
  2. C1<C<C1
  3. C1<C<C2
  4. C2<C<2C2

A
C<C1/2
B
C2<C<2C2
C
C1<C<C1
D
C1<C<C2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

We have, parallel capacitance, CP=C1+C2
Given C2>C1
2C2>CP>(C1+C2)>C2>C1
Hence option (a), (b) and (c) are wrong.
