Combination of Capacitors - Series
Capacitors are said to be connected in series when the second plate of a capacitor is connected to the first plate of the next capacitor and so on .
o Capacitors are connected in series as per the below diagram . o The charge across the arrangement will remain the same . o
o
The total potential drop is the sum of individual potential drops across each capacitor .
The inverse of total capacitance is the sum of inverse of individual capacitances .
