The correct answer is C. two in parallel and third in series with this combination.
The equivalent capacitance of two capacitors in parallel is the sum of their individual capacitances. The equivalent capacitance of two capacitors in series is the product of their individual capacitances divided by their sum.
If we have three capacitors each of the capacity $C$, we can connect them in the following ways:
- All in series: The equivalent capacitance of three capacitors in series is $C/3$.
- All in parallel: The equivalent capacitance of three capacitors in parallel target="_blank" class="youtube-subscribe-button"> Subscribe on YouTube
