Total Capacitance vs Capacitor C1
Formula
## Series Capacitors **1/C_total = 1/C1 + 1/C2** Series capacitance is always less than the smallest individual value (opposite of parallel).
Exemplo Resolvido
10 uF and 22 uF in series.
- 011/C = 1/10 + 1/22 = 0.1 + 0.04545 = 0.14545
- 02C_total = 1 / 0.14545 = 6.875 uF
Perguntas Frequentes
Why is series capacitance smaller?
Each capacitor drops part of the voltage, reducing the effective charge stored per volt.
When would I use series capacitors?
To increase voltage rating (each cap handles part of the voltage) or to get non-standard values.
Equal capacitors in series?
C_total = C/2 for two equal caps. Each cap sees half the voltage.
