Q. A parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking n similar metallic plates equally spaced from one another. The capacitance of the capacitor formed by any two neighbouring plates is $C$. The total capacitance of the combination will be :

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

The capacitor will be effective when alternate plates are connected to each other. It is equivalent to $n- 1$ capacitors in parallel
