1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
If there are $n$ capacitors in parallel connected to $V \,volt$ source, then the energy stored is equal to
A
$CV$
B
$\frac{1}{2}\,nC{V^2}$
C
$CV^2$
D
$\frac{1}{{2n}}\,C{V^2}$
Solution
Equivalent capacitance of parallel combination
${\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\mathrm{nC}} $
$\therefore $ energy stored $ \mathrm{U}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{eq}} \mathrm{V}^{2}$
${=\frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{nC}) \mathrm{V}^{2}}$
