Can someone please answer the following
 The variable capacitance of an old radio tuner consists of four plates connected together. Rah plate is deprecated from its neighbor by 7 cm of air. One set of plates can move so that the area of overlap of each plate varies from 20cm^2 to 30cm^2
 Are they connected in series or parallel?
 Solution
In this case, we have total 7 parallel plate capacitors
They are connected in parallel because the positive terminals are connected in series and all negative terminals in parallel.
So the potential remains constant.
The minimum capacitance is
Cmin= 7eoA1/d=1.77*10^-12 = 1.77 pF
The maximum capacitance is
Cmax= 7eoA2/d=2.655*10^-12 = 2.655 pF
