Problem 70P
CE You conduct a series of experiments in which you connect the capacitors C1 and C2 > C1 to a battery in various ways. The experiments are as follows:
A, C1 alone connected to the battery;
B, C2 alone connected to the battery;
C, C1 and C2 connected to the battery in series;
D, C1 and C2 connected to the battery in parallel. Rank these four experiments in order of increasing equivalent capacitance. Indicate ties where appropriate.

Problem 70P
CE You conduct a series of experiments in which you connect the capacitors C1 and C2 > C1 to a battery in various ways. The experiments are as follows:
A, C1 alone connected to the battery;
B, C2 alone connected to the battery;
C, C1 and C2 connected to the battery in series;
D, C1 and C2 connected to the battery in parallel. Rank these four experiments in order of increasing equivalent capacitance. Indicate ties where appropriate.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Here we need to rank the given four experiments in the order of increasing equivalent capacitance of the circuit. The given capacitors are and
.
D will be having highest capacitance, because in case of series combination we just add both the capacitors directly.
That is,
