Two equal capacitances are connected first in series and then in parallel. The ratio of the effective series capacitance to the effective parallel capacitance is

  • A. 1/4Correct
  • B. 1/2
  • C. 1
  • D. 4

Explanation

For two equal capacitors C: series capacitance = C/2; parallel capacitance = 2C. Ratio = (C/2)/(2C) = 1/4.
