When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors'' individual capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in series, the overall effect is that of a single (equivalent) capacitor …
A capacitor is a simple electronic part that can store energy like a tiny battery. It has two metal plates with a special material called a dielectric between them. Connecting a capacitor to a power source creates an electric field between the …
