    n identical capacitors each of capacitance C when connected in parallel give the effective capacitance 90 \[\mu F\]and when connected in series give 2.5\[\mu F\] Then the values of n and C respectively are

    A)  6 and 15 \[\mu F\]                         

    B)  5 and 18 \[\mu F\]

    C)  15 and 6 \[\mu F\]                         

    D)  18 and 5 \[\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     If n identical capacitors  each having capacitances C are connected in series with supply voltage V, then equivalent capacitance \[{{C}_{eq}}=\frac{C}{n}\] Here,     \[\frac{C}{n}=2.5\,\mu F\]                                        ...(i) If n identical capacitors are connected in parallel equivalent capacitance\[{{C}_{eq}}=nC\] Here,        \[nC=90\mu F\]                                          ...(ii) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n=6\]and\[C=15\mu F\]
