JEE Main 24 Feb 2021 Shift 1 Solved Paper

Given, C1=C2=C
When both capacitors are connected in series, their equivalent capacitance will be
‌

1

Cs

=‌

2

C

‌Cs=‌

C

When both capacitors are connected in parallel, their equivalent capacitance will be
Cp=C+C=2C
∴ The ratio of equivalent capacitance in series and parallel combination is
‌

Cs

Cp

‌‌=‌

C∕2
