CHAPTER 2: CAPACITORS AND DIELECTRICS

When 3 capacitors are arranged in series , the equivalent capacitance C is

• C_eq = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

• 1/C_eq = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

• C_eq = QV₁ + QV₂ + QV₃

• C_eq = CR₁ + CR₂ + CR₃

When 3 capacitors are arranged in parallel , the equivalent capacitance is

• C_eq = C₁ + C₂ + C₃
