What Is a Series Capacitor?
In series-connected capacitors, the total capacitance behaves like the inverse of resistors in parallel; the total is lower than the smallest value.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
1 ÷ C = 1 ÷ C₁ + 1 ÷ C₂ + …

Frequently Asked Questions
How does charge behave in a series connection?
The same charge accumulates on each capacitor; the voltage is shared inversely proportional to the capacitances.
