Question

1. A student claims that capacitors in parallel combinations have greater equivalent capacitance compared to the magnitude of either the capacitor and less than either the capacitors when connected in series combination. How will you agree or disagree with the claim? 2. A capacitor was made of aluminum foil strips which were separated by Mylar films. The capacitor was subjected to too much voltage and produced holes in Mylar films. The capacitance was still found to have the same magnitude but the voltage was lesser. Why do you think this happened? 3. Is there any kind of material that when inserted between parallel plate capacitors would reduce its capacitance?
