Three parallel plate air capacitors are connected in parallel. Each capacitor has plate area $\frac{A}{3}$ and the separation between the plates is $d, 2d$ and $3d$ respectively. The equivalent capacity of the combination is ($\varepsilon_0 =$ absolute permittivity of free space).

  • A
    $\frac{7 \varepsilon_0 A}{18 d}$
  • B
    $\frac{11 \varepsilon_0 A}{18 d}$
  • C
    $\frac{13 \varepsilon_0 A}{18 d}$
  • D
    $\frac{17 \varepsilon_0 A}{18 d}$
