Question

How do you recognize when capacitors are connected in parallel?

A junction is a point where the wire circuit into two or more branches or branches recombine.

(a.) They are connected one after the next without any junctions between. The capacitors are connected so the negative plate of one capacitor is connected to the positive plate of the next.

(b.) The capacitors consist of two identical plates which are arranged parallel to each other with a small gap in between.

(c.) As long as there are junction(s) between each capacitor.

(d.) They are connected so the positive plates of the capacitors are connected together and the negative plates of the capacitors are connected together.

Explanation / Answer

Answer is (D) They are connected so the positive plates of the capacitors are connected together and the negative plates of the capacitors are connected together.

Explanation:

For parallel connection, the positive charges distribute themselves in the positive plates and thus the negative charges in the negative plates. Now for this to happen, the positive plates need to be connected to each other and similarly for the negative plates.
