Question

The equivalent capacitance of two capacitors in parallel is greater than the capacitance of either one alone.

Answer 1

Yes , The equivalent capacitance of two capacitors in parallel is greater than the capacitance of either one alone because values of capacitors are added in parallel so definitely it will be greater than either one alone

example :-

Two capacitors are connected in parallel hence the capacitors values are C₁ = 2$\mu$F , C₂ = 3 $\mu$ F

Equivalent capacitance C_eq = C₁ + C₂

C_eq = 2+3 = 5$\mu$F

Note :-

Here it was proved that C_eq (5$\mu$​​​​​​F ) > ( either of C₁ or C₂ )
