A student connects three capacitors in series: $$C_1 = 1 \, \text{μF}$$ , $$C_2 = 2 \, \text{μF}$$ , and $$C_3 = 3 \, \text{μF}$$ . They claim the equivalent capacitance is $$0.5 \, \text{μF}$$ . Evaluate the student's claim and provide the correct equivalent capacitance.

The correct equivalent capacitance is $$0.55 \, \text{μF}$$ .

When capacitors are connected in series, how is the total capacitance $$C_{eq}$$ calculated?

$$C_{eq}= rac{1}{ rac{1}{C_1}+ rac{1}{C_2}+ rac{1}{C_3}+...}$$

Capacitor is a device used to store ----

electric charge and electric energy

If I add more light bulbs to a series circuit what happens?

The current slows down and the lights dim lower

In a closed circuit, how does battery voltage affect current?

As voltage increases, current increases.

This circuit has a battery, buzzer, and switch. When the switch is closed the buzzer will sound because -

electricity can flow in a complete path

In order for electricity to flow through a circuit, the circuit must be a closed, complete:

Path, so that the electricity can make a complete circle.
