Combination of Capacitors- Series
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.
