(A) Greater than
(B) Less than
(C) Equal to
(D) Cannot be determined
Ans: (A) Greater than
Explanation:
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is equal to the sum of the capacitance of each of the capacitors. Hence Ctotal=C1+C2+C3. Since it is the sum of all the capacitance values, the total capacitance is greater the individual capacitance values.
