MCQ
Three identical capacitors are combined differently. For the same voltage to each combination, the one that stores the greatest energy is
  • A
    Two in parallel and the third in series with it
  • B
    Three in series
  • ✓
    Three in parallel
  • D
    Two in series and third in parallel with it
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Three in parallel
c
(c) $U = \frac{1}{2}C{V^2}$
Now if $V$ is constant, then $U$ is greatest when $'Ceq'$ is maximum. This is when all the three are in parallel.
