So conceptually, if a capacitor is connected to a voltage source, and if you decrease the distance between two plates, the electric field in between the plates increases. This means that you can hold more charge on each plate because there's more force there now, increasing the capacitance.
The effect of adding capacitors in series is to reduce the capacitance. When an additional capacitor is added, there is less p.d. across each one so less charge is stored. The diagram shows the charge on the plates of three capacitors connected in series.
A capacitor consists of two parallel conducting plates separated by an insulator. When it is connected to a voltage supply charge flows onto the capacitor plates until the potential difference across them is the same as that of the supply. The charge flow and the final charge on each plate is shown in the diagram.
Let the capacitor be initially uncharged. In each plate of the capacitor, there are many negative and positive charges, but the number of negative charges balances the number of positive charges, so that there is no net charge, and therefore no electric field between the plates.
The plates of an isolated parallel plate capacitor with a capacitance C carry a charge Q. The plate separation is d. Initially, the space between the plates contains only air. Then, an isolated metal sheet of thickness 0.5d is inserted between, but not touching, the plates.
Ceramic capacitors may catch fire for various reasons. Mechanical stresses such as bending and torsional forces can cause cracks in the ceramic material, which may then lead to short circuits and overheating. Electrical overvoltage, inadequate heat dissipation, and poor solder connections are other common causes of burning ceramic capacitors.
