This proves that capacitance is lower when capacitors are connected in series. Now place the capacitors in parallel. Take the multimeter probes and place one end on the positive side and one end on the negative. You should now read 2µF, or double the value, because capacitors in parallel add together.
Find the total capacitance for three capacitors connected in series, given their individual capacitances are 1.000μF 1.000 μ F, 5.000μF 5.000 μ F, and 8.000μF 8.000 μ F. Because there are only three capacitors in this network, we can find the equivalent capacitance by using Equation 8.7 with three terms.
If two capacitors of 10 µF and 5 µF are connected in the series, then the value of total capacitance will be less than 5 µF. The connection circuit is shown in the following figure. To get an idea about the equivalent capacitance, Let us now derive the expression of the equivalent capacitance of two capacitors.
The capacitance doesn't increase in series; it decreases. Capacitors in parallel are capacitors that are connected with the two electrodes in a common plane, meaning that the positive electrodes of the capacitors are all connected together and the negative electrodes of the capacitors are connected together.
When adding together Capacitors in Series, the reciprocal ( 1/C ) of the individual capacitors are all added together ( just like resistors in parallel ) instead of the capacitance’s themselves. Then the total value for capacitors in series equals the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.
Note that in a series network of capacitors, the equivalent capacitance is always less than the smallest individual capacitance in the network. A parallel combination of three capacitors, with one plate of each capacitor connected to one side of the circuit and the other plate connected to the other side, is illustrated in Figure 8.12 (a).
